I have wondered for so dang long
Where the heck did I go wrong
I was kind and caring until I met you
Then I changed and became so blue

I turned deceitful and
I became a liar
I look in the mirror and don’t recognize her
The girl that’s staring back at me

I wouldn’t force myself to see the monster that was in front of me
It took so long to get over the scars that were your fee

I doubted and starved myself 
Always searching for your approval
But you would only shake your head and said
I needed to keep changing

But now I’ve found someone that’s right for me
Someone that loves me for free
I’ve become kind and loving again
I never want to be anyone else

Today I look at you and I feel a pang of pity
You’ve spent your whole life trying to make yourself more pretty
Yet all that you have succeeded in doing is making yourself ugly

I’m sorry that I didn’t see it earlier
Though I never stopped you from becoming brand “new”
Maybe someday
You could leave your old scars behind and become beautiful too

A/N:
Okay so this is an older one but I am pretty proud of it. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the name. I had to think of a title really quick so I just went with the first thing that cane to mind... "New"...

Feedback is greatly appreciated and I'd love to hear any ideas for new poems.
