What I See
What I see when I look in the mirror,
I see a scared girl who had to grow up faster than she planned.
I see a wannabe.
A girl who wants to be everything she is not.
I see a grown woman with a childhood mind.
A girl who has been raped by those who were suppose to keep her safe.
I see a terrified little girl who was forced to run away from her childhood
by her family
And a family that tore her self-esteem into a thousand words.
What I see when I look in the mirror,
I see me.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
