I'm the girl in the mirror,
I'm the girl down the street,
But I'm not the girl I always thought I could be.
I'm better, maybe stronger, even more prepared
And I'm what I need to be,
I'm the one who always cares.
I can show you what you mean to me,
Or tell you that you don't
But deep inside my heart,
I'm just the girl that's left alone.
People never see me
As who I really am
They just stick with what I show them
And never really understand.
But who can really know me
When I don't let people in
I'm just scared of what they'll see
When I show them who I am.

This poem was inspired immediately after finishing the book "Every Last Word" by Tamara Ireland Stone. I recommend it to everyone. It's amazing!!!!!
