My reflection stares back
But that isn’t me
The girl looking back is what the world sees
I am so much more than that.
I am more than a face
Don’t be afraid, speak the truth
Stand up, be confident
My thoughts and opinions matter.
What we see is not what we get
Beauty can’t be measured by a mirror
Actions, words and virtues
The only way to measure beauty
