Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who Is That Beast?

I look into the mirror
I don’t like what I see
Who is that horrible beast before me?


My friends say Im pretty
They must not look properly
Your ugly I whisper softly

My heart cries out
It feels the pain
But what is beauty, what is the gain?

When will all this stop
The self loathing
This mirror, its so exposing
