Mirrors
MIRRORS
I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR WHAT DID I SEE?
THERE STOOD A LIFELESS REFECTION OF WHO BUT ME
WHO AM I? I’M DARK, SHORT, NOT THIN AT ALL
WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO BE SLIM AND TALL
I LOOKED MORE AND MORE AS I STARTED TO STARE
THIS BORING TIRED WOMAN JUST STANDING THERE
WAS GETTING OLD AND LONELY, ALWAYS COMPLAINED
WHAT IS IT THEY SEE IN ME? THEY MUST BE INSANE
I STARED SO LONG AND WAS JUST STARING AT ME
UNTIL I STARTED LOOKING INSIDE WHERE THE EYES CANT SEE
I’M SMART, SWEET, AND KIND TO ALL
THAT IN ITSELF MAKES ME 10 FEET TALL
LOOKING INSIDE WAS BEAUTIFUL, I GAVE MYSELF A HUG
COULDN’T FIT MY ARMS AROUND ME BUT I’M SO MUCH TO LOVE
YEA DARK ON THE OUTSIDE, I KEPT LOOKING INSIDE OF ME
THE LIGHT THAT SHINES ON THE INSIDE COULD MAKE A BLIND MAN SEE
I GUESS IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH YOU WILL FIND
YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE IS A STATE OF MIND
IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE THAT MATTERS FROM THE START
BECAUSE THEN YOU WILL SEE YOUR OWN BEAUTIFUL HEART
I WONDERED BEFORE WHAT PEOPLE SAW IN ME
THEN I MUST BE INSANE TOO BECAUSE I'M STARTING TO SEE WHAT THEY SEE!!!!!!!
