Never trust a mirror,
For a mirror always lies,
It makes you think that all you’re worth,
Can be seen from the outside.
It doesn’t show you what the world sees,
When you’re only being you,
Or how your eyes just light up,
When you’re loving what you do.
It doesn’t capture when you’re smiling,
Where no one can see,
And your reflection cannot tell you,
Everything you mean.
Never trust a mirror,
For it only shows your skin,
And if you think it dictates your worth,
It’s time you looked within.
