Mirror Mirror On the Wall
Mirror mirror on the wall.
Why do you insist in all
The ugly traits you force on me
In features that I rarely see?
Mirror mirror on the wall.
What gives you the right to call
This bulge 'unsightly', that one 'hot';
This color's ghastly, that one's not.
Mirror mirror on the wall.
I'm not Cindi 'fore her ball
I have no fairy goddess wand
Nor youth enhancing fountain pond.
Mirror mirror on the wall.
What tragic fate must I befall
Before I cut you down to size
And inner beauty's recognized.
