Another person stares back at me
The one I hate the most
The one with an ugly face and fat legs
The one I want to turn to a ghost
This is what many girls think
Unfortunately, it’s true
If only they saw their true beauty
But it’s hard to convince a few
Mirror mirror on the wall
It doesn’t matter if you’re short or tall
If your legs are skinny or hips are wide
It only matters who you are inside
Love yourself for who YOU are
Please... give it a try
Believe in yourself
Aim for the sky
