My Reflection

The person I see in the mirror
is not really me 
Im no where near who I want to be 
So confident and poised happy and brave 
instead Im stuck living in a maze of insecurity
of doubt of trying desperatly to figure out 
who I can be I know its in me if I just dig down deep
but the soil is hard and my mind is asleep
