I Sit In Front Of The Mirror Today-

Thinking About All Of The Words They Felt They Had To Say-

The Person Who Looks Back At Me-

Isn’t Real Or Even Part Of Reality-

As The Reflection Whispers Words Into My Ears-

I Realize I Must Put Away All Of My Fears-

The Time Has Come To Be Real And True-

I Know Exactly What I Need To Do-

I’m Going To Wipe Away The Mask Made Of Eyeshadow And Lipstick-

They Make Me Sick-

So What My Face Has Wrinkles-

It Is As Beautiful As A Cupcake With Sprinkles-

This Wig Covers The Hair That Has Turned Grey-

Who Cares What They Have To Say-

I’m Going To Pull The Fake Off And Let It Be-

For It Is A Part Of Me-

These Clothes Cover Up Everything I Am-

Has My Life Been Nothing But A Sham-

Why Should I Hide-

What Makes Me Myself On The Outside-

Let Them See The Stretch Marks-

I’m No Longer Going To Hide Them In The Dark-

Yes I’ve Got Scars-

I Love Them For What They Are-

And As I Sit Here In The Nude-

I Begin To Believe Their Words Are Just Cruel And Rude-

The Person That Looks At Me Now Is Beautiful And Me-

I Guess I Forgot Who I Am Lately-

I Am My Own Art-

I Should’ve A Long Time Ago Followed My Heart-

For I Am My Own Carved Sculpture-

Magnificent And Nothing Like A Vulture-

When I Look Into Those Dark Eyes Filled With A Life Torn Up Like Paper By Society-

I See That There Is Beauty In Variety-

I Am Me And You Are You-

We Shouldn’t Listen To The Things They Want Us To Do-

If They Don’t Like What They See-

They Can Find Other Places To Be-

Looking At Myself For The First Time-

I Realize I Am Worth More Than A Million Dimes-
