Reflection

I have been watching videos on youtube today, and the song "Reflection" from movie Mulan seems to fit me very well.

'Look at me, you may think you see who I really am, but you'll never know me. Everyday it's as if I play a part. Now I see if I wear a mask, I can fool the world, but I can not fool my heart.'

Most people see me as this very happy person with a great job and life despite being single. I love my job and life, but my desire for a husband and family of my own is becoming more and more important to me everyday. Most do not see that, but that is my true desire.

'Who is that girl I see 
Staring straight back at me?
 When will my reflection show 
Who I am inside?'
My reflection is not always me.
I am now In a world
 where I have to hide my heart
 And what I believe in 
But somehow I will show the world
What's inside my heart 
And be loved for who I am
Sometimes it is hard for me to hide things about my self from the world when all I want to do is show the world.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me? 
Why is my reflection someone I don't know? 
Must I pretend that I'm 
Someone else for all time? 
When will my reflection show 
Who I am inside?
I hate having to pretend something I am not or something that I do not have as of yet.
There's a heart that must be free to fly 
That burns with a need to know the reason why 
Why must we all conceal 
What we think How we feel 
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
I do not want to hide who I am forever.  I hate having to hide the real me.
I won't pretend that I'm 
Someone else 
For all time 
When will my reflection show 
Who I am inside? 
When will my reflection show 
Who I am inside? 
Who I am inside?
One day soon I hope to show my real reflection of myself with my most special desire.
