The Girl I Used To Be

I don’t recognize her.
The reflection- She’s tired.
Exhausted, but not just physically.
Looking back at what she’s gone through.
Colossal mental and emotional changes.
Life changes are hard. 
And she didn’t stop running.
She knew she had to work harder to go back to the girl she was.
She used to have such optimism and a positive outlook in life.
She laughed at everything; a smile that never faltered.
Somewhere down the road, it cracked and shattered.
Now she was trying to get back to her but forgot to breathe
She was so determined. So driven.
Yet she forgot to take care of herself in the process.
She caught the glimpse of the girl looking back and her.

And paused…


She's working on becoming.

Still evolving, still changing, but the other girl she was chasing doesn't exist.

Now all she can do is become stronger and know that she is enough.

Even if the smile falters some days.
