Who is that girl gazing back at me? where are the tears that once bled beneath the lack of trust the lack of love filled eyes of abandonment and dissillusion? she gave her all to feel just one bit of love to feel life, and laughter, and freedom from the chains that had once enveloped her she lost everything that had any meaning at all lost the hope that once was held in her eyes they all laughed at her from the beginning too much of a dreamer too headstrong too unlike any other no one believed in her and her once proud dreams Who is that girl gazing back at me just now? the one who stands strong stronger than ever before who fights back when pushed to the ground yet still has her moments of vulnerability and extreme suffering they never thought she would be where she is today they never thought she'd laugh right back they never gave her another chance to take who she was and metamophasize into what she is today who is that girl that once was lost in her boyfriends' ideal person? who once lied to her friends herself and everyone in between? in order to be accepted who is that girl looking back at me through the mirror of life? look at her closely and you'll see a reflection of yourself in her once hate filled eyes she has learned the price of love how to unlock her heart and move on she has learned weakness how to keep it together she has learned who it is gazing back at her.
