Mirror, Mirror (2)

Location

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
who's the prettiest of them all?
Well, it's hard to say with all those girls that stand there,
I can not judge, it would not be fair.
A lot of girls look into this mirror and do not see,
or ever say, "Look at beautiful ME!"
Many girls nowadays force themselves into never eating,
this is rather an emotional beating.
They think they are not skinny enough,
so they turn around and try to act all tough.
You don't know that they are not eating their food.,
yet you still think they perfectly look good.
They think they are not pretty enough,
their life begins to get pretty rough.
Plastic surgery, applying layers upon layers of makeup, scrubbing their skin raw,

this low self-esteem problem should be against the Law.
They stare at their reflection,
and only see their imperfection.
What they SHOULD be looking at is their beautiful hair,
it's unique shades are pretty fair.
Look at those gorgeous eyes,
see the truth instead of those harmful depressing lies?
Girl, look at those curves and hips,
and your pretty face, any boy would be a fool to not want to kiss those lips.
Yeah, there's a birthmark on your face,
but look at your cheeks, you have such grace.
You're at the perfect weight,
why would you need to hate?

Next time YOU look in a mirror, what do you see?
I hope you say, "Mirror, mirror, Look At Beautiful Me."
