Look in the mirror And what do you see? A pale freckled girl And yet this is me A small button bent And slightly crooked nose That’s taken a few too many Hard horse head blows Look in my eyes And what do you see? Many painful trials Of joy and travesty A blue gray green array Of colors surround The darkest black pupil With hazel flecks all around Look at my soul And what do you see? I bet you’ll see something You want me to be You’ll search for kindness You’ll think you see light But you will see nothing If you don’t look just right

I Am Me
Look in the mirror And what do you see? A pale freckled girl And yet this is me A small button bent And slightly crooked nose That’s taken a few too many Hard horse head blows Look in my eyes And what do you see? Many painful trials Of joy and travesty A blue gray green array Of colors surround The darkest black pupil With hazel flecks all around Look at my soul And what do you see? I bet you’ll see something You want me to be You’ll search for kindness You’ll think you see light But you will see nothing If you don’t look just right
