Who's that Girl

The girl in the 
mirror is unknown to me. 
I don't recognize the
face looking back at me. 
She's stronger
than she used to be. 
She's fighting 
for the first time in her life
for something that
she dearly loves. 
She's letting her anger 
be known, 
She is not hiding her
pain. 
This girl that is 
letting people in, 
is not one 
I know. 
She's tougher, 
she's a 
bit meaner, 
she is stronger than 
she used to be. 
This girl 
who is she? 
No one around her 
knows 
this girl looking 
back at me in the mirror. 
She's not afraid to 
say what she wants, 
to go after what she needs, 
to walk away
if the situation calls. 
Who is she, 
she looks familiar 
but the look in 
her eyes is not the same. 
There is something 
new, she can't name. 
Gone is the timid 
little girl 
hiding herself from 
the world. 
Gone are the tears 
streaking down her face. 
Gone is the girl that 
used to look back 
at her and shy away 
from her own 
image. 
She is in control 
she is angry, 
she is in love, 
she is fighting for her life. 
She's not holding back 
for the first time
in her life. 
For the first time, 
she feels alive.
