Someone once asked me This past year when the pain seemed to grow too unbearable To look into the mirror And tell them what I saw At the time I said "Someone disenchanted of what life really is Someone on the brink of losing self control Lost and disillusioned by others' lies Someone so far gone over the edge It's hard for her to see anything but death up ahead There's stains of tears upon her cheeks Emptiness clouding her eyes Hatred and hurt imbedded in her shattered heart" And then he asked me why Why a young girl such as myself could feel that way And I told him Told him the long hard story Of how a young girl lost her faith in God and in herself Then he told me "A little bit down the road, look into the mirror once again After the young girl has been set free from her self-imprisonment Call me up and tell me again What do you see?" So now, 6 months later I look I gaze I stare straight ahead into the eyes of someone I once lost And see someone completely different Someone aware of who she is and what she has Someone full of life and energy and forgiving Someone no longer looking back thinking of what she should have done But thinking of what she could do in the future Someone who has learned how to trust again How to believe and what to believe Someone who knows where she is going and is going there with her head raised high Someone who knows how to learn from an experience And not to run away.Birth sign: Scorpio
