Mirror Image

She walks the walk I run from,
she cries the tears I hide from.
She allows herself to come undone,
she ignores the crimes I have done.

Who is she?

She lets the light shine where I shade it,
she lets the noise roar when I block it.
She has no faults where mine are clear,
she has no fears where mine are here.

Who is she?

She is me,
the other me,
the me I thought I'd never be.
She is what you love about me,
the other side of me.

Can I be that girl,
the careless
fearless
painless girl?

Can I be that girl,
the beautiful,
hopeful,
loveful girl?
