Reflection

I'm facing the mirror My mind is racing a million miles a minute My reflection is looking back at me But she isn't me.... Her hair is no longer blonde Her eyes have lost their shine Her skin looks tired And her smile lines turned to a frown She's watching my every move Falling into step Putting on a show for everyone around But she isn't me This isn't me at all I want to wake her up Tell her she deserves to be loved She deserves to be alive And if I could, I'd give her an ocean of love so much she could drown in it Bathe in it Feel it drip from her fingertips So much love that she could waste it Throw it all away, just to be surrounded by it once again I'd want her to see for herself What she saw in herself back then Not too long ago but it feels like it's centuries since From the person we are now From the person all this pain morphed us into A person we can't recognize as "us" anymore A once golden-heart turned to dusty coal And I hope she knows, The person society wanted her to be Was not the person she was destined to be I hope she sees for herself, That she can change Her life can be turned around It's never really over until it's over and even then, you could get up just to try again to "try" Because we all deserve to "Try" a little more To fight a little harder Just so that we can all become so much stronger. I smile at her, she smiles back at me It's a start, towards better days Brighter skies and Rainbows filled with gold And together we can go Walking our path The one we know leads us home And for once, We won't be so scared Because we aren't alone after all We can use the moon in the night sky As a light to guides us if it ever gets dark She's a warrior A Fighter So much stronger than she thinks And for once she's going to know it
