The Girl In the Mirror

I look in the mirror I don’t recognize The girl staring back at me She’s not the girl She was when she Started this school She’s not the girl Who cried every night About what her mother did She’s not the girl worried About where her father is She’s content with who she is She’s not the girl who hated Walking through the hallways Afraid of the people who would stare She’s not the girl who used to Wear baggy clothes every day She doesn’t care what others think of her She’s the girl who was influenced by her friends She’s the girl who enjoys life to the fullest Even when she does not want to She feels insecure sometimes She gets upset Sometimes But she doesn’t let that control her She controls it Because the girl in the mirror Is finally okay with who she really is.
