Only in the Mirror
Every morning I wake up and see the beautiful woman I aspire to be
Every day is the same, the mirror on the wall, mocking me and taunting me to be someone I am not
With each article of clothing, the image in the mirror blurs, each garment unfit for the day ahead
Piles of magazines ripped on the floor of catologues and models, I cannot take anymore
Why must the mirror change me, my imagination runs wild
A girl with a figure all her own, that is not the same as them all
Tears run down my face, as each outfit falls to the floor
Even naked I am nothing comparable in this mirror of horrors
As society shapes, the emotions of women around the world take
But my body is beautiful, my body is my own
I am beautiful no matter how blurry the mirror appears
