Changing

At this age most people are so mixed up because we change so much. Because of that there is often issues where someone will not know for sure who they are. It is important to be sure of yourself and know that you are in complete control of who you become.

I know that girl

The one I see in the mirror

I like that girl

She is

Smart

Funny

Kind

Selfless

Beautiful

She knows who she is

Unlike so many

But I know that girl

The one looking at me

She is scared

Of everything

I know that girl

I remember that girl

Who she was

Wasn't a nice person

Who she was....

Selfish

Horrid

Cold hearted

Ugly

Unforgiving

I know that girl

The one you all love

an awesome write as well... considering this poem cam full-circle in the end. heartfelt, insightful, and humbling. I'm so glad you've made such postivie changes in your life, because your right.. I certianly enjoy reading your heartfelt expression. may i make a suggestion though?.... possibly "reflection" or "self reflection" may be a better title... becuase as i read this.. you are sharing with us what you've found through your own self reflection and it plays on the words/concept you use of looking in the mirror. ;-p

thought you mightl ikie that idea. much love n respect!

I felt that this poem is a true discription of the inner battle that goes on in the mind of a developing youth. The transition from teen to young adult is a scary and shocking time period. Reality smacks you right in the face yet we still carry the fears of our youths , and when will they go away ....and when will i finally......what will i do if......who am i REALLY?........very confusing and intimidating at times. You will grow out of the negitive parts of your personality if you have any self respect. And i know that you do. A very nice piece here my young friend . Great job.
