when i think about
the person that i want to be
i see someone strong
someone witty
she is fierce
she is pretty
she is smart
she is kind
i want her
to be mine
i see someone
who doesn't take shit
from anyone
even if
it's someone she loves
someone she doesn't want to lose
she's braver than me
and more passionate too
she does what she says she will
she does the best she can
for as many people as she can
as many times as she can
she's well read
and self disciplined
she's respected
and sympathetic
this person is always loyal
and energetic
she is artistic
and athletic
i want to be this woman
i want her oh so bad
but in order to reach her
i must escape this trap
i must pick this lock
the lock that i crafted myself
the lock that i hung up
in order to trap myself
i must decide today
this minute
right now
if this will be the day
if i can take that vow
i want to be this person
so bad i want to cry
but in order to be this person
the girl in the mirror must die
