Bruises on Ego

Look at her she's perfect,
Her make up all in place,
Look at how she fits in,
She's always got a welcome space.

Look at how she does her hair,
There's no mistakes, no flaws,
Look at how she's nice to them all,
A kitten with no claws.

Look at how she walks along,
Her posture nice and tall,
Look at how she helps her friends,
Picks them up once she falls.

Look at how she smiles,
Her eyes full of light,
Look at how she never,
Never gets into any fights.

Look behind the perfection,
The mascara's running a bit,
Look behind the popularity,
How she's often treated like shit.

Look behind the hair,
And see she's not all great,
Look behind the kindness,
And see her lonely fate.

Look behind her posture,
See she's not that proud,
Look at how she quickly,
Fades into the crowd.

Look behind the smile,
Her eyes are hiding tears,
Look behind the friendliness,
And see there's so many fears.

The mirror isn't so flawless,
She's got nowhere to go,
She's beautiful as usual,
With bruises on her ego
