I Am the Opposit of What I See

In the mirror I see
things I don't want to see
I see imperfection 
looking at me

I see eyes that are odd
and plain stringy hair
and my face when I smile
is something I don't want to share

I see weight on my body
that makes me feel bad
and the zits on my face 
make me feel sad

but still I smile
because I know I am wrong
a fact that makes me want
to break into song

I know I am beautiful
and that I'm perfectly free
for what I see in the mirror 
is just a reflection of me

A picture that's turned 
the wrong way around
thinking this way
means happyness can be found

my reflection is the opisite 
of what people realy see
and all those imperfections
add up to a perfect me
