This poem is one of my favorites.....hope you like it!! :0)
Looking in the mirror
I see to my surprise
A completely different person
Staring deep into my eyes
The carefree little girl
I saw at 4 and 5
Has now become a young women
Fighting to survive
In a world filled with madness
That surrounds me everyday
It's frightening to think
I could be killed for what I say
Remembering a time so long ago
Picnics, swing sets,
Barbies and water parks,
A time when I didn't worry
About others remarks
It's scary
That time flies by so fast
And what I used to call the present
Has now become the past
