When I look at life,
so happy and free.
Sometimes I see that,
but sometimes I just see me.
I look in the mirror,
so far from perfection.
I look at myself,
but there's a different reflection.
The image of a girl,
who has a lot of friends.
Likes life the way it is,
and knows how to fit in.
But, if you look closer,
you'll see what I see.
The image of a girl,
who has been hurt repeatedly.
Her past has consumed her,
made her cry about her life.
So caught up in her lies,
she cant find the path that's right.
Somewhere in my journey,
I took a wrong turn.
I made bad choices,
and hurt others in return.
Looking at myself now,
With tears streaming down my face.
The image of a girl,
not making those same mistakes.

Always, Tameica Hammick.
