Reflections

Mirror mirror on the wall

Who’s the fairest of them all?

Reflections dark yet clear

Show all the insecurities I hold so dear

It isn’t me I wish to see

It isn’t me I wish to be

Flaws and mistakes, words can’t be erased

What will it take to appreciate my own face?

They whispered lies in my ear

Since the day I began to care

Their words stayed with me longer than friends

Their words could lead me to my very end

Person person in front of me

Let me tell you what I see

Yes bruises cover your fair skin

And maybe you will never be thin

But beauty is in the eye of its beholder

You’ll meet other people, it’s not over

The scars on your body tell a story

The stories may not be of any glory

But they’re proof of what you have overcome

So hold your head high, O’ strong one

It’s not the end of the road

Someday you’ll be free from your load

You asked me who’s the fairest of them all

This question will lead to your downfall

So instead turn to your mirror on the wall

And ask who’s the strongest of them all

To find the answer, I will give a clue

The answer will be staring straight back at you.
