The Girl In the Mirror

The mirror was her worst enemy She hated the girl looking back at her All she wanted was to be free Of that unwanted specter The girl in the mirror refused to see How wonderful her insides were All she saw was what she could be If she could just transfer Out of this hated chair you see That she would much prefer What she wanted was to be free To live like most everyone on Earth Not confined to this chair eternally The masses always looking at her Saying "Oh my! What a pity!" "Pity" had become such a terrible slur She really just wanted to dance with glee With no one looking down on her So the girl in the chair made her plea And the girl in the mirror concurred Maybe they should just try to be happy After all the girl in the mirror was her

The best things in life are experienced on the inside. These are our treasures. There are some good people on this planet who realize that touching is much more than skin deep.
