Struggles of a young woman.
We spend years and years perfecting our look, our speech and walk.
Time can be very misleading, it has a way of making us feel comfortable, like we have all the "time" in the world. Its like getting your first R500, you think you have a lot of money until you left with that last R100 and think back...WHAT THE HELL DID I DO WITH THE R400?!
Hours pass by as we keep looking in the mirror for imperfections, hours pass by as we watch reality shows religiously, hours pass by as we worship our celebrities, hours pass by and when you finally stop to look at yourself, you find that you don't even recognize the person you see in the mirror.
Girl child who are you, are you comfortable being with the person inside or does she make you nervous because she asks too many questions?
Can you blame her; yesterday you loved the colour red because your favorite singer claimed to love the same colour, two years ago the thought of wearing a short dress made your stomach turn but today your the go-to person when someone wants to buy a short dress just because you wanted to fit in, you dating a guy that you hate being around just because he has the same reputation as you, so it only makes sense right?
You hate being alone because its at those times when everything that you do, that goes against everything you believe in comes crashing down on you, your scared of facing reality, your scared of being alone, your scared, you are scared!
But until when?
