Poetry Corner: The Person I Am Meant To Be

See those sad eyes hidden behind her smile

Watch that look fade when no one is around

This lonely woman hasn't felt strong for a while

Her tears falling at night have yet to make a sound

Too many burns to count, how can she continue?

How does this happen, where does her strength come from?

They know the pain she felt, they know what she's been through

Is it really worth trying again, just for the same outcome?

His lies, his betrayal, different hurt, different face

The minute she decides that there will be no more

Another player in this game, a new contestant to this race

What weapons to break her walls, to win the highest score

This gift that she has, others cannot handle

Proof that they deserve this as much as she

No more will this reward be blown out like a candle

No more weakness will all of the others see

Only in this triumph will this sad girl let go

Only in her mind, will she participate in the show

Her guard is up, she will learn to trust no one

They deserve the best and this she is set to prove

To stay strong, she must walk this world alone

Learning to live this new life, learning to forget about love

Look closely and you will see the woman and her reflection

That image of the person that she yearns to be

This woman and her mirror have that connection

Soon they will be the same, soon you will see

Thank you for for reading The Person I Am Meant To Be!
