looks into the mirror
can’t stand the reflection
staring back is a face
less than perfection
knowing the beauty
is held deep inside
thinking no one really cares
if it’s not on the outside

oh she believes
maybe inner beauty just isn’t enough

looks into the mirror
can’t stand the reflection
showing a gorgeous face
with perfect complection
shining the beauty
brilliant on the outside
left with the worst emptiness
resounding inside

oh she believes
maybe looks aren’t worth anything

looks into the mirror
can’t stand the reflection
seeing a darkened face
full of pigmentation
her tongue is not foreign
to the world around
yet people still take her differently
inlight of her background

oh she believes
maybe she doesn’t belong here

i look out on the world
can’t stand what i see
a world full of hate
judgemental on scene

oh i believe
people need to open their minds 
and see everyone’s true beauty.
