She is Me, I am Her

I look back at my younger self with tears

I miss the days where you and I were peers

If I could talk to younger me, I would say

Your protective tactic, isn't the best way

I know you think it's the safest to be a soldier

But it breaks you the most when you get older

To survive this world, you need a stone heart

Right? not to get yourself hurt or fall apart

Being brave doesn't mean to maintain silent

It's a dangerous game to play, it ends violent

It hurts to realize the one in the mirror I see

Is who younger me tried so hard, not to be

I can hear that little girl cry from my inner

She's just a silhouette now, she gets thinner

Will I get to see her again, or is she gone?

She is me, I am her, without her I'm done
