I am not the child that I was,
although she lives in me.
The woman staring back at me
from the mirror,
I know every nook and cranny,
every scratch and skin discoloration.
I read her memories on the backs
of my eyelids every night.
Joyful, lovely, hopeful,
fearful, tearful, anxious,
her dreams are a jumble
of experience and possibility.
We survive, the two of us.
The girl I was and the woman I am
walking hand in hand,
discover who she will be tomorrow.
