straight in to the mirror
looking at myself
and wondering
who is that girl that I see?
can she really be the same girl
who tried to die
on purpose?
the same girl that used to hurt people
for fun?
the same one who hurt herself
for pleasure?
the one who cursed Your name
for vengance?
she was so angry
so full of hate and sorrow
so cynical
so sad
But now I see no trace of her
instead I see a woman
who loves all that she sees
who tries to help people
who sees the good side of so much
she's seen so much pain
worse in the years she has known You
so many reasons to hate
but she loves
she sees the goodside of everything
even her own death
how did this happen
in such a short time
to go from one extreme to the other
is it because she feels loved now?
because she knows she is not alone?
because You give her life meaning?
or is it because now
she sees through a different set of eyes?

The change is good for everyone. The beautiful spirit was always there, you finally set it free for all to see.
