Reflection

Reflection

I walk around in circles

crazy and ready for flight.

Holding on and staying true

living with all my might...

Holding on to the woman who's strong,

not the one crouching low.

Holding on to the woman who's smart

and is beginning to glow.

The me I've become is much different

than the me that used to be...

holding my chin a little higher

smiling back at the reflection of me.

Maybe you don't realize

how confused I've been inside.

Against the wind for all my life

and yet I will not hide.

I will move forward,

my eyes fixed on the goal.

This journey, this life, this heart,

this soul.
