I feel like
I can no longer hide
My feelings even though I tried
Trying to resurrect The Girl
Who once died on the inside
Of me.
Looking in the mirror do you like what you see?
Is it everything you hoped for, everything you dreamed?
Do you too often look back with regrets,
Woman: an adult female human being.
But what is my real definition?
A Mat? A Punching bag? A Nag?
No, No, No What is MY real definition
Creator, Savior.
I have vilified myself in my own mind.
I try to think back, to retrace my circling steps,
to pinpoint precisely the exact moment these
I'm 23...
And fortunately, I like being me.
I love myself, my immediate and little family of three.
Did I feel this way... at 21?
Was I ALREADY having this much fun?
Or... was I... actually... numb?
