Looking in the Mirror
When you look in the mirror,
What do you see?
Someone strong and beautiful,
Someone happy and free?
Someone alone in the world,
Someone who looks like a fright,
Someone who curls up alone in their bed at night?
Do you see beauty?
Do you feel disgust?
Do you see someone
Whose life has gone to rust?
I see strength and sadness,
Loneliness and freedom.
I see someone who lives
In a forgotten kingdom.
You see what you want,
From the mirror you look at.
But others see different,
They don't see 'fat'.
They don't see 'ugly'.
They don't see 'dumb'.
They see 'strong'.
They see 'unique'.
They see things you cannot see,
No matter how hard you blink.
So don't trust your mirror,
No matter what you find.
For your looks in the reflection
Are all in your mind.
