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
