you see me in the mirror - i am the perfect "you" the one you always wish to be but cannot get through to
you see the picture perfect dream - of all you wish to be, but you could always see the truth - if you looked inside of me
the mirror becomes your enemy - that battle every day, of all the things you should've been, that softly drift away
friends become distractions, so perfect looking fine, but all your fresh designer clothes - cant take away whats mine
you say i wont be perfect, but i'll go on until you see, that this so called picture perfect you is hidden deep in me

For xGentleWiccanCharx's contest "xspeak for the image" .. just a few thoughts i put down, basically saying that everyone is perfect some outside, some inside, and everyone deserves to be loved, whatever label society puts on them

your authors notes are true but when you have been put down year after year of your life and remain the only single girl within your school common room it can really push your self confidence astray and leave you wondering am I really pretty inside and out.but I love the way you have written this well done
