Mirror, Mirror, On the wall


Little do you know,

Being a mirror, I have to put on quite the show

I wear an ugly frown

When all I want is a beautiful crown

I’m stuck behind glass

And I can’t even show a little class

I have people all around me

Telling me who they want to be

Telling me who they want me

To tell them to be

Just once upon a time

I want to make a decision that is mine

A decision without the pressure of everyone

Goading me to say what they want done

The Evil Queen and “the fairest of them all”

I don’t want to take the fall

Again.

She’s vicious you know

She’ll stop at nothing to destroy those below

And being the one to blame

Only brings shame

Trust me, I would know

 

I am a mirror on the wall

And I wish I wasn’t

But that’s my reality

Just cut me some slack,

Okay?
