THIS GIRL
by Janelle DuBois

This girl I know
woke up one day
in love with her heavy heart
in love with her damaged heart
in love with her lonely heart

She got up and stood naked
in front of the mirror

She was shocked to love
the girl she saw
the shy, freckled girl
the awkward girl with the always sad eyes

She walked right up to the mirror,
pressed her flesh against the cool reflection

She cried and cried
as the mirror warmed
and her body cooled

What a girl, huh?
