I look into the mirror, admiring what I see, Oh the soft curves, there's no one else I'd rather be, Is she a queen or is she a slave? Who is the girl that I see in front of me? Now I see a woman, independent and sweet. A respected wife and a loving mother of three. Is she really content or is she just compromised? Who is the woman I see in front of me? As time goes by, so does my age, I hate what I see, we're no longer on the same page, All these liars praise my non-existent youth, But oh the mirror shows me the truth. Mirror mirror on the wall, Why are you the cruelest of them all? Show me the day that I once believed, That I was the prettiest maiden that ever lived.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall
I look into the mirror, admiring what I see, Oh the soft curves, there's no one else I'd rather be, Is she a queen or is she a slave? Who is the girl that I see in front of me? Now I see a woman, independent and sweet. A respected wife and a loving mother of three. Is she really content or is she just compromised? Who is the woman I see in front of me? As time goes by, so does my age, I hate what I see, we're no longer on the same page, All these liars praise my non-existent youth, But oh the mirror shows me the truth. Mirror mirror on the wall, Why are you the cruelest of them all? Show me the day that I once believed, That I was the prettiest maiden that ever lived.
Beauty and vanity is such an unexplored concept. We spend hours admiring or hating ourselves. It takes a certain level of maturity to love yourself and accept what you are. Much love xoxo
