as I look into the mirror

I can’t help but feel hurt

like I’ve let her down

the little girl inside me

she is probably wondering a lot

maybe where my spark went

or why my body changed so much

all I ever wanted was to make her proud

but I see I’ve failed to do that too

This poem is about losing sight of who you once were and feeling like you are disappointing your younger self.
