Mirrors

Mirrors only reflect what they're staring at,
don't blame them if you're unhappy 'cause you look like that.
Mirrors see more than what you realise,
now don't be alarmed, no they don't have eyes.
Mirrors can see beyond all that glamour,
they can force out your true self like a nail and a hammer.
Though you may look the part of a sweet princess,
if your soul is truly evil then you won't get the dress.
Just try for once being completely honest,
nobody will like you if you're that dishonest.
Like the cherry on top,
or the jewellery shop.
You'll only get the cake,
if you're true not fake.
So stop trying to prove you're not evil, just full of youth,
for a mirror only reflects the truth.
