INTO THE MIRROR

I looked into the mirror today, afarid of what i'd see,  it was time to face this person, who kept staring back at me.I wondered what her dreams were, if she has goals she'd tried to meet, was she someone who had fought so hard, from a life full of defeat.

When I looked deep in her eye's, I seen pain and fear and doubt, like something deep inside her, wanted so badly to get out. She seemed so lost and lonely, afarid to carry on, like everything she used to know, suddenly was gone.

Slowly I reached my handout, to let her know I cared, but she didn't want to take it, she was crying, she was scared.
I told her not to worry, no longer was she alone, and if she put her trust in me, together we'd move on.

Those eyes that i had looked in, this person I had seen,  was someone I had met before, my little girl in me......
