Look in the Mirror

Look in the mirror and all I see Is long blond hair and brown eyes, staring straight back at me. I differ on the outside than on the inside. Outside, I am perfected. I am what you want to see. Inside I am defected, The one not accepted by society. Look in the mirror and all I See is a lie. Society does not accept What they cannot explain. I want a tattoo I want to dye my hair blue I want to do everything I'm not allowed to. I’m a crazy, fun loving girl, stuck in a privileged world. Fighting to remain equal while watching others with more power. Being oppressed for how you feel While society sculpts you out of steel To be who they want. Can’t you see That your smothering me? What’s the matter? Society doesn’t recognize its own daughter? Where have my rights gone? I am nothing but another of society’s pawns. Barred from who we were destined to be, Our rights are gone and so are we.
