Who is this girl in the mirror I see?
The one with sorrow filled eyes and tear stained cheeks
Where are the hopes and dreams that use to fill her wings?
Now all I see is a flightless bird struggling to break free
Free from the boundaries of black and white
And the shades of gray that are filling her life
Worried about the lives affected
And wondering whether to sacrifice or be selfish
Is selfishness so bad when happiness is the return?
If when that happiness results in someone else’s hurt?
When sacrificing comes at the expense of becoming who she
needs to be
Even though it brings someone else security?
So here she is caught in the undertow
So desperately trying to find a foothold
Something to get her head back above water
To feel that sweet relief of air fill her
Who is this girl in the mirror I see?
The one who is getting pulled out to sea…drowning…
