Mirror Image

She's everything I want to be Her hair is straight while mines is nappy She is smart waving her degree in front of me Proud mother staring at the other side gloating She has her one and only on her arm While I stand lonley waiting She's so confident I'm so unsure She's ready for what's in store I'm afraid to touch the door I tend to please everyone but myself A hold a smile yet sadness is always very near She lives for today I live for tommorrow and beyond She speaks the truth no matter the consequences I tend to lose all form of communication when i'm scared or nervous She's surrounded by many Respected by plenty But all that matters to me is the acceptance of my truest friends She's on cloud nine and heading straight where she wants to be She takes a compliment like a concieted person I take compliments as self reflection Sometimes I don't know what's wrong Why can't I be more like her? Sane, Brave, Driven, Sexy, Loved... Why can't I just be my mirror image? I point and she points I blink and she blinks But she's on the inside looking out and i'm on the outside looking in So instead of being trapped I have an oppurtunity To just live Just doing what feels right to me At night I will have sweet dreams I'm just going to be me Something my mirror image could never do My mirror image smiles as I come upon this realization
