I look in the mirror,
And what do I see,
All the things that I fear,
I’m not good enough for me

Not thin enough,
Wishing I was tall,
Pretty like Hilary Duff,
Reflection completing my downfall

But on the inside no doubt,
There is kindness,
Shining throughout,
And that is timeless

Is it on the inside that counts,
Or do you only see the out.
