Beautiful Mirror

I used to think I was ugly.
Every time I looked in the mirror,
I'd shiver and look away.
I never gave myself a chance.
I tried to avoid the mirrors,
but they seemed to be everywhere.
Dad and mom tried to convince me
that I was beautiful.
They gave me cover - up,
but that didn't help me
see the person I saw everyday.

I tried to avoid all mirrors.
I tried to tell myself I was beautiful,
but I knew I was lying to myself.
I was deceiving myself
everyday of my life.
School was no better.
Everytime I washed my hands,
there was that face...taunting me.
I tried to shut her out,
but she just wouldn't leave.

One day I looked in the mirror long enough
to see that the beauty was deep inside.
All my beauty was afraid to come out
for fear of being shut back in.
My love for people
showed some of that beauty.
One day my beauty just popped out
and I suddenly looked at myself
and said, "Man, I'm really beautiful."
I couldn't believe my eyes!
It was like a whole new me!
A whole new transformation!

Now I look in the mirror everyday
and what I see is just a girl,
growing up and becoming more and more
beautiful by the day.
My beauty isn't afraid
to stick out of the crowd.
Now I see a face in the mirror,
and it's beautiful.
I found happiness
in a Beautiful Mirror!!!
