I look in the mirror, And what do I see? A nose the size of Jupiter A mouth that looks like I swallowed a train And hair that would only look good if the afro came back A So-Called Disaster With clothes that always seem too tight, And thighs that could double as hams I feel so far away from So-Called Perfection I may be 13, but I still have the face of a 2 year old. I know they say it matters what’s on the inside, and A size doesn’t make a person, But what am I to do in a world where Beauty triumphs brains And you want to be some plastic thing On the cover of a magazine The world is so distant from So-Called Reality

So-Called
I look in the mirror, And what do I see? A nose the size of Jupiter A mouth that looks like I swallowed a train And hair that would only look good if the afro came back A So-Called Disaster With clothes that always seem too tight, And thighs that could double as hams I feel so far away from So-Called Perfection I may be 13, but I still have the face of a 2 year old. I know they say it matters what’s on the inside, and A size doesn’t make a person, But what am I to do in a world where Beauty triumphs brains And you want to be some plastic thing On the cover of a magazine The world is so distant from So-Called Reality
