When I look in the mirror

A girl looks back at me

She has my face

She has my body

She has my eyes

And she has my nose

But she has seen and heard

More than I’ll ever know

She is my reflection

The person who knows me best

Who knows me better than

Even me

But me and my reflection

Are not the same

My reflection is silent

You can only see her scream

Unlike my reflection

I can be heard

This I forget

But I shouldn’t

Because my words matter

My thoughts have value

And if I choose to scream

Than you better know

That I mean what I say

Because I say

What others think

I say what not everyone can

So I say thanks to my mirror

For reminding me

That I have words

I have power

I have me
