Poetry: Secret me

Secret Me.

I'm running from this mirror on my wall
I cannot see my reflection anymore
Is it really me that shows behind that glass
With these memories faded and torn?

I am the girl waiting by your door
I am the girl with the strong heart
I wait for the sun to raise my shadow once again
Take me back to my childhood, right back to the start.

I sit on the dock with my feet in the water
Hidden behind a mask of curly brown hair
I watch the frogs jump and the fish swim around
Who am I, honestly, do I care?

I don't know which words to spill out anymore
I am full of surprises and secrets too
In the flower strewn garden of love and joy
My mask will come down, soon my secret self will be with you.

    Laugh a minute
    smile so bright,
    worry if I'll
    sleep tonight-
    paint a picture
    of the me,
    I want all
    the world to see.
    Can't explain
    just

    Mirror.
    Well, for one, that has to be a lie.
    That girl staring back at me is Not Me.
    How can she be?
