Maya's Truth
by Maya Nicole
When I look into the mirror
I see a beautiful young woman,
but as I stare into my own eyes I wonder to myself...
"what does everyone else see?"
I know what's in my heart,
I try so hard to love
and be there for everyone,
but as I stare into my own eyes I think to myself...
"all the love and giving and being there for everyone
doesn't really matter if I can't get it in return from them."
As I continue to stare, I wonder,
"do they truly understand all the pain and sadness
that lies beneath the surface and still remains in my heart?"
Can they look at my face and truly understand
all the things that I've been through in this life?
As I continue to stare, I think about
each one of the bad relationships I've been in.
I think to myself,
"did each one of them have a part
in confusing my mind about my own sexuality?"
I tell myself that all I ever really want
is for people to love and understand me.
But how can they?
'Cause the more I stare into my own eyes,
the more I begin to realize
that sometimes I don't even understand or love myself.
