Wishing She Was You

As she looks
At her reflection
She thinks
To herself
Why can't I be
That other girl?
Why can't I be
Somebody else?

Tormented by
The self hate
That dwells within

And everyday
Her self esteem
Plunges lower
And lower
Until nothing
Is left but
A cold hard
Empty shell

Another night wasted
Staring at herself
In the mirror
Wishing she was
Somebody else
Wishing she was you
