Laugh all you want
You're just a piece of glass
And you have no soul
As you mock who I am
I stare into your depths
Peering farther at myself
Trying to figure who I am
By looking into you
But you just stare back at me
And mock who I am
How I look and how I perceive
The world around me
You laugh at my body
The lumps and bumps
The extra baggage on my hips
And my not so handsome face
CRACK!
Now you're not laughing at me anymore
You can't tell me who I need to be
I can tell myself
That I'm great the way I am
