When I look into my mirror, What is it that I see? Just who is that face, Looking back at me? I see eyes that have cried, So many tears it's true. But not just in sadness, But in happiness too. I see lips that have smiled, Complete from ear to ear. But they have also said things, My parents wouldn't want to hear. I've seen things I wish I hadn't, I've said things I wish I'd kept inside. But I've also seen such wonders, And said many things so dignified. I love my reflection, It's a map of everything 'me'. I'm proud of that visual echo, And all that it can be.
