Mirror

Looking in the mirror
A tear slides down my cheek
I hate who I am
Everyday, every week

A soft hand slides on mine
A smile meets my tears
"You're perfect how you are,
I've been saying that for years."

A warmth burns inside me
But it's still something I don't see
All I see is a monster
A monster that is me

This girl she wont give up
She's desperate for me to know
"You're amazing how you are,
look at you're self, it'll show."

I glance at the mirror
My eyes burning green
There is hope in my eyes
Something I've never seen

The warmth inside burns stronger
Deep inside my heart
Self love I've never had
But could this be the start?

I look past the flaws
I see the kindness deep in me
why had it been so hard
Why could I never see

The girl's smile is more lively
Happy that I saw
I'm shock with self love
I stand in the mirror in awe

The warmth it stays with me
It burned away the tears
Finally accepted
After all these years
