This is me

Folder: 
Reality

Who is this girl.

The girl I wish to be,

Strong,

Beautiful,

Confident.

 

Who is this girl,

Standing there across from me,

Tall,

Hopeful,

Brave.

 

Who is this girl,

Standing there looking at me,

Living

To

Live.

 

Who is this girl,

Not

Living

To

Die.

 

Had I looked closer

Would I have sooner seen

The girl I wish to be

Is really an untrue me

 

She is not the girl inside,

Only my false exterior,

The mask that grants,

Relief of no one knowing who I am.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is an old poem from back when I was told to show who I am and how I feel.

Really awesome. It's like all

Really awesome. It's like all the parts of you that you kept leaving behind. I get it. Good luck and stay well!

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

It's not so much the parts

It's not so much the parts I'm leaving behind. It's what I use to mask the real parts of me.

Reflections.

The mask, a false exterior

Hiding a delicate interior,

Fragile frames of mind

Outlined by the face 

In the mirror. 

 

This poem is absolutely lovely. I love how you present the binary of inside/outside. Off to go look at the rest of your 'folio now. =)
