The Girl In The Mirror
By Desiree Grant


Dear Desiree,
It's just me again.
Knowing about your love to play pretend,
I ask you, how have you truly been?

Do you still enjoy watching the sun go from up to down?
What about reading and reconstructing your nanny's old magazines that you've found?
I know you must continue working with horses and rescuing animals that got left around wandering from town to town.

How's you constant struggle with the loss of your mom?
I understand how this loss can affect your teenaged life, but I have faith that you will go on.
How about your fear of cancer invading you like a life threatening bomb,
Just take care of yourself, eat healthy, and keep calm.

You definitely have potential to go places and pursue your dreams.
Just cage and package up all your fears and insecurities
Send them far far away on a large boat out to sea.

I see your dreams coming true.
You have potential to be a fashion designer or a model just like you wish to pursue.
I know that you need company, horses, and art in your life, because you do.
Do you still wish to have a toy-story tattoo?

You are a cheerful, appreciative, and respectful young lady.
Your school work and concentration may be shady,
but I know you are also very determined, faithful, and eager
I could go on all day about how you are such a creative intriguer.

Word on the street is your life isn't making you happy? Maybe your going through a bit of confusion?
Well those aren't just wasted nights you spend watching the sun go down. Oh no that, my dear, is inspiration well used, I've come to conclusion.
That's not just a bunch of garbage you've cut from hundreds of magazines. How bout a masterpiece? Or a work of art through fusion?
Well, and I know for sure, you are going to start a movement if you continue to fulfill your need of making sure all animals and children are safe from the world's pollution.

I hate to go on about your disappointments so, I apologize now.
But, what you need to keep in mind is I will always be here for you. It doesn't matter how.
I guess I'm just making sure you're floating up stream and that you haven't drowned.
But keep in touch my friend and what do all the bad things matter anyhow?
Sincerely yours,
The girl in the mirror.
