I Look in the mirror,
but i dont see me,
I see something deeper,
The Inner me, that most connot see,
Someone I know but have not met,
A girl I see, trapt in a net,
trapt in me, the girl I see,
The one person I want to be,
I see her everyday in the mirror, doing what I do in my place,
washing with me that of my desired face,
the goal of mine I want to chase,
to free her from this wretched place,
she is only known through the site of me,
she will one day come out for all to see,
the girl in the mirror, I will one day be.

Gender doesnt always apply to your physical appearance, sometimes your mental stability is the one to hold your true gender!
