I Think the Mirror Must Hate Me

I think the mirror must hate me
Why can't its reflections be true?
I want to see what I can be

Yet the mirror won't let me see
The things that I really should do
I think the mirror must hate me

I want so much to see me free
To see me sail the oceans blue
I want to see what I can be

I know I only need to see
To believe that I'm special too
I think the mirror must hate me

If only it could hear my plea
The mirror would know what to do
I want to see what I can be

What I want to, I just can't see
And all my efforts just won't do
I think the mirror must hate me
I want to see what I can be

Having a low self esteem myself, I can definitely relate to this poem a lot.
