The girl

There's a girl I used to know but I haven't seen her in a while

I want to be just like her

She was fearless
She could do anything and even if she couldn't do it she wasn't one to do it anyway just to look stupid
She would admit her faults

She always wore a smile
Joy looked so good on her
She could make other people smile and she knew it

Everyone told her she lit up the room
Made people happy
And when they weren't happy she was there to help until they felt better

She was slow to anger
She was selfless
Or so everyone told her

She had so many problems in her life but she never spoke of them
They didn't bother her
They slid off her and couldn't hurt her

No one knew her troubles because she never talked about herself

The only reason she knew she was all these things is that people told her time and time again

I miss her
What happened to her

The last time I saw her was a year ago in the mirror

I've looked for her in the mirror again but she's not there

What's there is a fake smile and a sad person with problems
A self conscious and self centered person who has close to no friends

I miss the other girl but I'm afraid I'll never see her again
