Beautiful Reflection
I think I am beautiful with my dark brown flowing hair
When I walk into a room, sometimes people stop and stare
All my clothes are fancy and my hair's always just right
With my nails to match my shoes, I can be quite a sight
I'm told that I am pretty, gorgeous, bright, and smart
Well that's all fine and dandy, but what's the condition of my heart
Is it like the outside, pretty, clean, and bright
Or is it repulsive and filthy, void of any light
If I said the latter, what then would you say
If I told you all the thoughts that occur within my day
When I lie and I cheat and I hate someone with passion
Does it make it all okay because I wear the trending fashion
Can I keep all my faults hidden underneath my Maybeline
Tucked inside my designer pockets, by no one to be seen
How long can I keep this up, how much longer can I hide
Before this ugly darkness creeps to cover my outside
When I get to the end of my life, it won't really matter
If I'm blonde or brunette, skinny or a little fatter
No one will remember the clothes I wore to that thing
Or my epic sparkly shoes, or my fancy purple ring
What they will remember is if I reflected God
If I was truly real or if I put up a facade
I want to be that girl that's beautiful inside
God help me be that girl so I no longer have to hide
Help me to be loving, kind, honest, and true
So when people look at me, they actually see YOU
