Changes
I look in the mirror every morning I see
A child is leaving. I am becoming a new me.
I went into a room a young one who didn’t know
I emerged and I am someone else, I have to go
On a journey that lets me know who I’m meant to be
These changes are big, I’m filled with fears and glee
Am I ready to take on the role of a woman
There is so much to take on, but I think I can
My mother still sees me emerging, I can tell
My father is not prepared to leave the cloak that fell
And took my childhood away from me
I am ready, in my heart’s eye I can see
Question
Which line best suggests the speaker no longer identifies as her former self?
