Something Different

OK so I have been trying to get back into my poetry. Some of you know I write and to others, this is a new side of me. But lately, I have felt the need to let this chaos in my mind come out and so I decided to get back to what I know and what I love...writing. So here's a new poem that lets you have a peek into how I am feeling lately. "This Girl" when I look in the mirror I don't know the person staring back at me Is it really me or a twisted hallucination? But deep down I recognize this girl she is the image that lives in my dreams when I sleep I see things as I think they ought to be and when I appear I see this different version of me this is the girl that lived under pounds and pounds of doubt, hate, pain, and depression finally emerging out of the ****oon this girl has fire this girl has passion this girl has confidence and this girl has purpose I never thought I would see my spirit within staring back at me in the mirror but there she is a force to be reckoned with a spirit ready to fly -- amber 2006
