Girl
All dressed and dolled up in womanhood
but the mirror reflects a little girl
Lonely but not lost
trying to be strong without love
Using her time alone
to search through the valves of her heart
and uncover who she is
The reflection of herself makes her reflect on herself
She wasn't who she wanted to be
wasn't where she needed to be
Couldn't exactly understand what needed to be done
but was so sure that in the urge of doing nothing
that the woman she pretended to be could disappear
In longing comes patience
In patience comes time
She wasn't sure what the answer was
to the question she couldn't yet understand
Wasn't sure if no action was a reaction
to the failure she felt as a person, once a woman, reduced back to a girl
Tears couldn't help the disappointment she felt in herself
Couldn't wash away the hurt on her pride that seemed like it shone in her eyes
The reflection in the mirror was puzzling at best
But what could she do
There was nothing to do and nothing to say
She finally stopped staring in the mirror that day
but the mirror reflects a little girl
Lonely but not lost
trying to be strong without love
Using her time alone
to search through the valves of her heart
and uncover who she is
The reflection of herself makes her reflect on herself
She wasn't who she wanted to be
wasn't where she needed to be
Couldn't exactly understand what needed to be done
but was so sure that in the urge of doing nothing
that the woman she pretended to be could disappear
In longing comes patience
In patience comes time
She wasn't sure what the answer was
to the question she couldn't yet understand
Wasn't sure if no action was a reaction
to the failure she felt as a person, once a woman, reduced back to a girl
Tears couldn't help the disappointment she felt in herself
Couldn't wash away the hurt on her pride that seemed like it shone in her eyes
The reflection in the mirror was puzzling at best
But what could she do
There was nothing to do and nothing to say
She finally stopped staring in the mirror that day
