She Dies Everyday

there has been a hundred times
a hundred times she was asked to change
she knew who she was
but then met a stranger every time she looked into the mirror,
and yes she dies everyday


there she was trying to know the world she lived in
confused , cramped and torn
yet she wanted to know more about the world she lived in
and she dies everyday when people said this was not
where she belonged

somewhere between who she wanted to be
and who she had to be
she dies everyday


who decides what she wears
who decides who can she live with
who decides what could be her proirities
who decides when   can she smile
who decides when could she break and runaway
and she dies everyday realizing it is not she who decides it all.
