I am dreaming.
Dreaming of who I wish I was.
I look in my mirror and see a girl.
But this girl isn't me.
The girl I see in the mirror,
Is the girl
The rumors,
The talk,
The people of the world created for me.
But this isn't me.
My mirror shatters,
Then comes back new.
I see who I should be.
Who I truly am.
I see what only I see.
I see
Hurt
Happiness
Silent tears
Intelligence.
But most importantly,
I just see me.
