Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
am I beautiful?
No,you are not.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
will I become successful?
No,you will not.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
will I become famous?
No, you will not.
That's enough!
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
you cannot tell me,
what I will or will not,
do or become.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
you cannot control my destiny.
Only I can do that.
I am beautiful,
whether you think I am or not.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
as I throw this brush at you,
as you shatter, your pieces fall,
fall to the floor,
I become free.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
you control me no more.
