A/N This has been an idea rolling around my head for a while. It's not a coupling per se but two friends talking. I don't own the song "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera...I hope that you enjoy...
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
She stood at the lakes edge looking down at her reflection. Her mind wandered to the Corny Collins show.
It feels like everyday I play a part she thought.
Shelley came up besides her. "Amber are you alright" She asked.
Every day, is 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
"I was just reflecting on the recent events and how it has made me realize that there's more to me" Amber answered looking up at her then back at her reflection.
"How so" Shelley inquired.
"I thought I was against integration but by meeting Seaweed and Inez and the other new council members I've come to understand that they are more similarities than differences between us" Amber replied.
"And I think I was really against change because it frightened me. That's why my mother was so against integration" she added.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
"What if your mother knew you actually felt this way" Shelley asked.
"She would have kicked me out or something" Amber answered.
"The world is changing and it is scary but I think admitting you were wrong is a good step forward" Shelley said.
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Amber nodded. "Thanks. It's just with the reputation I've already built it'll be hard to prove to people that I have changed. They'll see me as planning something devious"
"Just give them time" Shelley told her.
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?
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 won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
"I just hope they give me that time" Amber replied.
"I bet they will" Shelley said.
"After all we all deserve a second chance" she added.
Amber smiled up at her.
