Reflection

I look and stare
Wondering who I am
And who still cares

How could anyone?
I don't even care for myself
All I want to do is have fun
Be my own self again

That's never good enough
I have people judging me
From hea to toe
Don't they see

That every word is a knife to the chest
Why is our society so judgmental
One more label
I swear I'll go mental

So I look and ask who am I
Who is the real me
I look at her in the mirror
And ask if this is really me
