The little girl’s tears

The freezing air wisping past me,

The glassy mirror judges me

My dark eyes search for imperfection

What do you see in my reflection?

Don’t you know the one mistake that defines you?

One wrong step and it will break you

How I wish I could run and not be weary

Live my teenage life and not worry.

Stars in the water shine distant and late

Watching them ripple as I listen and wait

Waiting for trust and affection

To see another beside my own reflection.

The little girl cries now

But the misery is very much temporary

I’ll awake tomorrow

And feel a lot less sorry.

Tears elucidate my emotions

But my sweetest smiles will surface

Between the mirrors I see no limitation

Someday you’ll see my true reflection.
