Mirror Image

Mirror Image I look in the mirror I see a girl who tries hard to impress Never reaches her destiny Not proud of who she is “Why can’t I look at her?” or “I wish I had her hair, her smile, and her style She hopes she’ll get out of this feeling But she knows she won’t That mirror image she see isn’t a pretty one Everyday she gets brought down by her looks “Yo, you see her shoes!?” or “Where you get them clothes?” She’s hurting inside Her dad tells her she’s the most beautifullest thing But she knows it’s only because I’m your daughter She listens to songs that shows her pain Is this healthy for her to do? She doesn’t care, it makes her feel like she’s not the only one That mirror image hopefully will get better One day she’ll except her look, But for right now she’s won’t That girl she sees in the mirror will continue to be an ugly one She always wonders why some people think this way about themselves But as a girl who thinks that way She understands fully Her smile isn’t bright, her style is dull, and her face is still there To bring her down Everyday that mirror image gets foggy and fades away
