I look at that girl, the one in the mirror. Is that really me? That girl with the sore eyes. The one with a broken smile. What happened to her? Then I remember all the pain. All the nights she cried herself to sleep. All the nights she couldn't even close her eyes. All those days spent looking at a screen, envying the girls that were living. She longed for that, for a connection. But she feared vulnerability and honesty. So she stayed cooped in her tower of her making. Spending her days in deep sorrow. Is this how to live?

That Girl
I look at that girl, the one in the mirror. Is that really me? That girl with the sore eyes. The one with a broken smile. What happened to her? Then I remember all the pain. All the nights she cried herself to sleep. All the nights she couldn't even close her eyes. All those days spent looking at a screen, envying the girls that were living. She longed for that, for a connection. But she feared vulnerability and honesty. So she stayed cooped in her tower of her making. Spending her days in deep sorrow. Is this how to live?
