I look into a mirror
Do I see me or another
I knew before, it was nearer
Now it is so far like my mother
Lost, a sense of unknowing
Some-people are forgoing
While, others are motivated in finding existence
Some keep themselves at distance
Sadness, a feeling of hurt
Yet, for some it is an alert
Finding a purpose and a sense of pride
Is something no one should put aside
Now in that mirror I see me
A girl that once was lost, but now is free

The author's comments:
Have you ever had a feeling or one of those days that you were unsure about who you were or who were becoming? Well, I thought I lost who I was for awhile, which inspired me to write this, but I realized that you don't lose who you are, you just need take some time to grow.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
