I’d like to meet the mirror image of myself,

someone who feels the opposite

of everything I’ve felt,

a girl who’s done everything right,

and has never changed her mind

about what she wants.

I’d like to meet her just to see

how much happier than me

she really is.

I’d like to meet someone

who could have been like me,

but made all the right decisions

and turned out differently,

a girl who’s not afraid

and makes the most of everyday,

so I’ll know it’s possible.

I’d like to meet someone

who’s happy as she is,

who feels completely comfortable

inside of her own skin,

and doesn’t make herself feel bad

for every flaw she has.

Maybe she could tell me how she does it.

I want to meet the person

I could have become

if I had not been so afraid

and did all the things I wish I’d done,

and I want her to say

that I am still okay.

That I turned out alright.
