A New Reflection

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

You left my life in just a few short days
Still not knowing who I was or how your love had affected me
You left right when I changed
You never knew who I came to be…

Before, I was your normal, quiet, young girl
Scared of what life had to offer…
Unsteady when it came to living…

Now, just a few weeks after you left,
I stand here, changed

No more shyness…
No more vulnerability…
No more weakness…

I don’t want anyone to lean on
Or to chase away my fears…
I don’t want anyone to control me
Or to tell me what I can or cannot do…
I’m doing those on my own

I’m facing my fears and enemies…
Guiding myself down my own path…
And reaching as high as I have wanted to reach…

No more being perfect…
No more being afraid…
No more being calm and controlled…
I’m more like you

I’ve changed.
