I am the girl in the mirror
You see me all the time
I am the girl in the mirror,
The girl who can't draw,
The girl who can't write,
The fat girl
The ugly girl
The mediocre girl
Who can never be good enough.
The girl who can't do anything right 
The girl with bad luck
The girl with no talent
And I am good for nothing 
And I have nothing to be loved for
I am a burden
To you.
And to others.

I am the girl in the mirror, who copies your every move.
And you see me as too fat,
Too ugly,
Too... Boring.
You see me and find me not good enough
Not pretty enough
Not enough like the others
Not smart enough for your liking
I do not live up to your standards.
And I am ashamed 
And I am sad
And I want to hide away where you can never find me again
So that you might be happy.
But I cannot. And I hang like a cloud over your head.

And I see you on the other side of the mirror.
I see you, I see what your friends see
I see you as beautiful
I see you as talented
I see you as smart,
Witty, wise.
And they think so too.
And they say so.
But you won't listen.
And you see me,  inadequate and meek.
Over your head like a cloud.
And I am simply just not what you want to see.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I can't be perfect for you, 
Because I want for nothing more.
But I am only the girl in the mirror,
And you only see me the way you do.
And even though I know I am not what you see,
Sometimes I cannot help but look back at you.

I am the girl in the mirror
The one that looks back at you.
And they say mirrors show only the truth
But the truth is distorted
When your mind plays tricks

I am the girl in the mirror,
The one that's no good.
And I look back at you.
And I see perfection.
Idk I write a lot of things on the spur of the moment.
These kinds of things just sorta come out...
