I look in the mirror, what do I see..
Careless eyes staring back at me.
I don't like the view,
What happened to me?
I wish I knew,
Where is the real me?
I'm so lost in my own fantasy.
I couldn't see what this was doing to me.
I'm trying to be free,
Trying to be me.
Why is it so difficult to see?
Where do I find me?
The real me,
I don't even know what I'm supposed to be.
Maybe its just too late...

Moving to a new school, Breaking up with my boyfriend, and finding Jesus are all things that have inspired me to write this.
