A Look Within Her

Mon, 02/23/2015 - 22:59 -- b.2015

Hide behind social media.
It's the easy way out, right?
Take the time, look within you.
It's kind of scary with no filter.  
Look across the room,
That girl, observing the room,   
Her mind is in the clouds.
In her own little world.
Nobody bothers her there.  
Quite an ambitious girl though,
An independent one too.         
Quite a few accomplishments.
Praisals here and compliments there.
She's beautiful,
But a little insecure.           
Stubborn comes to mind too.
So does impatient,
With some selfish tendencies.   
Dont get me wrong,
She has a lot of love to give.

She's just scared of failure,
And not used to a lot of support. 
If she doesn't look after herself,
Then, who will?  
Take a good look at her,         
Those dark circles cant be overlooked.
Mentally burned out,  
But always staying busy.
She prefers it that way.                    
Look her in the eyes,
You can see hunger in them.
More accomplishments will come.
A bright future she sure has.
