Looking in the Mirror

Life was complicated

Her situation was under estimated

She tried to fit in

But was not allowed

She was pushed in to isolation

Not included in all that was there for the taking

At home things were no better

She worked hard to participate

But to no avail

Nothing she done could compensate

Working hard and getting no thanks in return

Hands tired, body and mind empty

No matter what she done

Others took plenty

Standing alone in the world

No one to turn to

Looking at herself in the mirror

She couldn’t stand at who she seen

Not one for makeup

She had a face of porcelain

Crying in bed at night

Trying to make sense of it all

When a knock on the door the follow day

A friend from the past

Had come to see her

They had a blast

They chatted away for hours on end

She now had someone to turn to she had a friend

Her friend got to the bottom of what was going on

She had isolated herself and didn’t know where she did belong

As her confidence grew so did she

Nothing stayed the same

She could be the person now she wanted to be

Looking and judging herself was her biggest flaw

Looking in the mirror now was so easy for her

Taking pride in who she was it felt like she had won the draw

This was her cross roads

She now knew which road to take

She knew who she was

She was not fake
