As i look in the mirror
i see myself,
then i slip into an imaginary world.
first i see a little girl,
swinging in her swing,
attempting to reach the sky
not a worry in the world
besides what scary monsters live under the bed.
next i see a girl, around 10 or so
shes sitting in her fourth grade class,
next to the boy she likes
she starts to sweat, trying not to say anything "stupid"
she has never been so scared before
then there is the girl but as a preteen.
shes getting ready her first day of school
shes nervous
she wants to look perfect
the girl has matured into a teenager
its her last day of her sophomore year
and she dreads it
she doesn't want to go home for the summer
for she fears her parents
then i come back to reality
i see myself in the mirror now
tear stained face
then i wish i were dead.
