You see a girl

Who is crying for help

She thinks she’s alone

She hurts herself



You see someone

Who feels unloved

Thinks all she does

Is never enough


You see a woman

Whose body is scarred 

Trying to escape

This life that’s hard

Now look again 

And see what I do

Look through my eyes

To see what I think is true


I see a girl

Consumed by strife

Who has many friends

To help her through life


I see someone

For her, many yearn

Doing so much

For little return


I see a woman 

Who is a true beauty 

Trying to forget

A past that was ugly


The same mirror

Yet different eyes

Which set is truth?

And which is a lie?
