Looking in the Mirror

I’m standing here

Looking in the mirror

One month left

Only one more month of being

Just a teenage girl 

But today

I still feel like the little girl 

Looking in the mirror

Wearing her moms too big shoes 

Wishing that she could grow 

And wear heels and dresses 

And pretty makeup 

But now I see

Looking in the mirror

A real grown-up me

I’ve become everything I wanted

And at the same time 

Nothing is as I thought

A grownup life would be

But that's the beauty of it all

Isn’t it?

That I’m still that girl

And this one

Looking in the mirror
