i looked in the mirror the other day and i looked and didnt see someone i liked.. i saw staring back at me... someone who was sad and not depressed.. but lost.... and i keep looking at this person i see in the miror and i say to myself.. who is that person.. i do not recognize her.. and that is a sad thought indeed.. i wish i could gain that smile back.. but life happens and people break your heart.. and i dont have a good poker face... it shows in my eyes.. and i cannot make it not... i avoid the mirror.. because i see myself without the mirror a pretty girl.. who is trying to live happily in the world where happiness does not always come easy.. but when the mirror is there i see a person whom the world has gotten to and who is more negative then positive.. and spirit seems a bit dimished... i want to cry so much.... but its my fault... the person in the mirror is me.. and my self image is not good.. its sad to think back and say i used to be able to smile at myself and others... and now others see the change... and have commented on it and im not sure how to get the smiling girl back ... the one that was all innocence and fun times... not the seemingly loner she has become..
lifes not all rainbows and pretty streams in a forest full of wonderful things.. its stess of traffic work and bills.... its bad self image and low self esteem.. its depression and broken hearts... lifes full of drastic and dramatic.. full of doubt and negativety.. and rarley anymore do you see positive things happen.. maybe sometimes it willl happen.. but not often.... someday i hope that will change and we will return to the day when you could still believe in rainbows and pretty streams in a forest full of wonderful things and happy endings... believe that these things do come true..
everday it gets harder
to live this life in this time
to dream is a foreign concept
only for those who live in hollywood
gone are the days of rocking chair on porches
and a pretty sunset with your best friend
bring on the traffic and the smog
the politics and back stabbers
its all that is today
its sad for sure
what will we do
to get back to that time
a time of easy strolls on the sidewalk
and a smile for a stranger
for tea time and nap time
for love and passion
for friendship and trust
when will it happen for us to see
true comroddary among all of us
maybe not today and not tomorrow..
but i hope for the future... that it wont be far off.....
