New Girl

I looked into the mirror and saw a different face,
One strikingly similar, but with a newfound grace
She still had the smudges and scars of the old,
The crinkles and silver hair of the past retold
But etched on that face were features of vigour,
Her tears and screams no longer lingered
Everything about her exuded confidence,
Her changed radiant nature was a public concurrence
Her hair was tied up, away from her face,
She tried to rebuild from those desolate days
Her brown eyes lightened up like a fire after a storm,
She had forgotten about what was likely a heart torn
She had mended her self esteem and had high morale,
Her head held high, her figure standing tall
I looked into the mirror and saw a new girl,
She'd decided to her embrace her flaws, and change her world
True she won't ever forgive or forget those memories,
But never will she end the year with hatred and enemies
She'll walk out strong, not completely happy,
At least she's done being upset and angry
The pain still overwhelms her as she cries herself to sleep,
But no one could really blame her, the cut she endured ran deep
She was a new girl with new antics,
No more was she as anxious, stressed or frantic
Still depressed, and just a little lonely,
But this new girl would make it out, with her emotions only
I turned away from the mirror and was back to being blue,
The new girl was gone, but know I'm happy for you.

Looking into the mirror, I saw someone strong. I saw someone who could stand up for herself and go back to being a small girl with deep thoughts. A small girl with a big heart. A small girl with huge dreams.
But as soon as I turned away from the glass, that girl disappeared. The memories came crashing back and the world was closing in, tighter and tighter.
No more bravery, no more power.
Just that delicate, wilting flower.
