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 or 5,
Has now become a young woman,
Fighting to survive.

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

Remembering a time so long ago,
Picnics, swing sets,
Barbies and waterparks,
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,
Where the little girl used to be.
