Mirror Mirror
They stare at me
Disappointed
I look back at them.
They are all so full of self-hate
Never satisfied with what I show them
They look,
I lie
They see another through their eyes.
Skin and bone is where they’re at,
But
Where you see thin, I showed fat
Even though they are thin their eyes deceive everything.
I am never cruel, only truthful
I never judge them by what they show me
You only see your imperfections
But every day I see your beauty
Your sad eyes meet mine
You tell me what I show you is ruining you
You shouldn’t blame me.
I wish I could show you what I see
But I am merely a piece of glass
That adores your reflection
You just crave some affection
Stop worrying about your complexion
Because to me you’re perfection
