The little girl in the mirror

I look in the mirror.
And see the same girl looking back.
The girl I was 8 years ago,
The one who's now turned black.

I can't go back to being her.
Back to that innocent child.
I've moved on, grown up a bit,
And time has passed me by.

I remember how gullible I was,

And how I always seemed to scream.

For everything I wanted.

But now I've lost my self esteem.

But I wish I could go back,

To who I used to be.

That little girl in the mirror,

Will always be a part of me.
