Reflections
The rain has stopped
puddles lining the pavement
And I gaze down
at an especially clear one
Examining myself
who am I?
I wonder
Have I really changed
so much
in so few years?
I look older,
more mature
but I know
I haven't changed much
on the inside.
Mirrors reflect only
on your outsides,
the new shell
you have grown into
But on the inside,
I'm still the same person
Still the same little girl
innocent and unknowing
Why do I look so
different now
from what I was
two years ago,
when I stood in the same spot
on the same street
asking the same questions
the very same questions,
which I still have yet
to answer.
