Self Image

Mirror mirror on the wall
hanging in the empty hall
I wish you would fall and shatter
all the pieces life to scatter
you left me more broken than ever before
crying on the bathroom floor
I scroll through all the ¨perfect girls¨ wearing skirts and shiny pearls
their fake mom says, you're beautiful
but that's naive
Itś not what she really believes
I'm living in reality
knowing that beauty is rare

Itś odd that you can feel like everyone is beautiful except for yourself. It´s odd that were programmed to believe in people we barely know more than ourselves. But I know what itś like to stare in a mirror and hate your own reflection. Just try to remember that nobody judges you more than yourself.
