today's feelings
i caught just a glimpse
of the girl i used to be
she flashed her smile in my mirror
a smile i didn't expect to see
i found myself in awe
of the strength behind the smile
and remembered i was her
even if i haven't been for a while
i want to be her again
with the will to stand and fight
against all pushing me down
with their furious might
i'm so glad i caught that smile
with my fleeting glance
for now i know i'm truly ready
to fight for my chance
