Looking in the mirror,
I see to my surprise,
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 surrive!

In a world filled with madness,
That surrounds me everyday,
It's frightening to think,
I could be beatened for what I say!

Remembering 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 become the past!

And when I look in the mirror,
What I see looking back at me,
Is the face of a spring young woman,
Where that little girl used to be!!
