Who Is She...


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…
