...Teen Year's Meditation...
Looking in the mirror,
I see to my suprise
A completely different person
Staring deep into my eyes.
The carefree little girl
I saw at 4 and 5
Has now become a young woman
Fighting to survive.
In a world filled with madness
That surrounds me everydat,
It's frightening to think
I could be killed for what I say.
Remembering a time so long ago,
Picnics, swing sets,
Barbies and water parks,
A time when I didn't worry
About others' remarks.
It's scary
That time flies by so fast
And what I used to call the present
Has now become my past.
And when I look into the mirror,
What I see looking back at me,
Is the face of an aspiring
young woman
When the little girl used to be.
