    Reflections

    I look in the mirror and don't recognize

    the person staring back at me

    what happen to the person i once was

    she's only a memory

    Life dealt her some hard cards to play with

    And it changed her life in so many ways

    She can never go back to who she once was

    It would be like trying to find your way out a maze

    So many twist and turns and dead ends

    never knowing which way to go

    sometimes running through it so fast

    sometimes walking around really slow

    But each turn brings a new discovery

    A new lesson to take on her way

    in hopes that she will find comfort

    and believe in a better day

    So this person i see in the mirror

    She has aged far more inside then her years

    has lived so much of her life already

    has shedded so many tears

    She wonders how she ever got this far

    without completely falling apart

    always telling herself that tomorrow

    is a chance for a brand new start

    Always giving herself hope

    that if theres a will theres always a way

    If it doesn't happen tomorrow

    Then it will come another day

    I can tell that sometimes she's tired

    She struggles to keep her head high

    Taking the weight of the world on her shoulders

    Knowing that all she can do is try

    So this girl in the mirror that i see

    She doesn't always walk that straight line

    There were times she thought about giving up

    Days she wondered if it was really worth trying

    She had been warned that life wasn't easy

    but never told how hard it would be

    That girl in the mirror, she's still learning

    That girl in the mirror has become me

    This is very good a reflection of your talent within It would also make a great R&B song also, because it tells alot about your everyday experiences, I'm in music and I think with the right production it would be great! grecowong@yahoo.com

    Very nicely done. Often the reflections that we see in the mirror don't jive with our mind's eye of who we think we are. You brought this out beautifully. Thanks.

    Liked this a lot. Our ideas about who we think we are don't always jibe with what we actually are or grow to be. Excellent write. Good work. Thanks!

    beautifully crafted…

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
