My Reflection

Mirror, mirror on the wall
who's the fairest girl of all?
Is she the one with the perfect face?
With the pretty smile? Not a hair out of place?
Is that all you reflect? Is it the only thing you see?
All of those are things I know I could never be.
What about my inside? My soul? My thoughts? My mind?
Whatever happened to the saying "Love is blind"?
Will I be doomed to suffer eternal loneliness and despair
simply because of the way I dress or the color of my hair?
This is what God gave me and it's not perfect, that's true
but I think it's not too bad and I one day you'll think so too!
