Chapter 11 - Looking Glass

 
 
Looking in the speculum, sometimes I don't like what I see
The person standing there isn't who I want to be.
I want to be the opposite of the girl that's standing there
I want to go to Mirror Land, where I can live without a care
I pick at all the small things, so I never see the good.
I always, almost always, start thinking things that no one should.
I'm told my eyes are beautiful, but that I'll never see
They say my hair is nice, and play without consulting me.
It's said I'm over emotional, but that's normal at me age?
Sometimes my real emotions are trapped back inside a cage
My friends say my face is expressive, with what I talk and say and do.
They say my styles changing, that is also true.
They say my heart is blackening, that I don't understand
But when I look at my reflection, I realize who I am.
I'm the girl that tried, to be the models on T.V.
But when that didn't work, I started un-becoming me
To find myself, all I'll need is a gentle hand.
A kind friend to look me in the eye and say they understand.
It'll take a bit, but I will find what I want to be
But promise that you won't give up helping me find me
