Mirror

by miss insecurity   May 30, 2007


Do you ever look into the mirror and wonder who you are?
Ask yourself what happened. How did it get this far?

Do you ever look into the mirror and hate your pretty face?
Wish that you were ugly, for on you beauty is such a waste.

Do you ever look into the mirror and wish it the future you could see?
Faithful friends or enemies, whatever that may be.

Do you ever look into the mirror and wish they could see more?
See who you are without the boobs and still like what they saw.

Do you ever look into the mirror and want to turn away?
You tell them all that you are fine but lies are all you say.

Do you ever look into the mirror and glimpse your very soul?
No, must be a play of light. No seams in this perfect doll.

Do you ever look into the mirror and realise your disguise,
Was much too good, for even you no longer know what's inside.

Do you ever look into the mirror and realise your mistake?
You thought you had a recipe for success but only failure lies in your wake.

Do you ever look into the mirror and with that just one glance,
Realise you tried so hard to belong, you missed your only chance.

And do you ever look into the mirror and realise what this means?
You've played this game so long, so well, you've become your worst enemy.

For when I look into the mirror all I see is what they hate.

Don't ever, ever stop from being real.
