Mirror Image

I look into the mirror and see the same.

An unattractive girl standing before me.

I have changed inside, more than once.

I put more effort into caring for myself.

The results are the same, I'm still just plain.

The outer me wants to look like a movie star.

The inner me wants to feel like I'm 21.

I look into the mirror, not looking any different.

Trying so hard to push myself.

Each passing day I stay afloat.

Careful about what I do now.

Cautious about what I eat.

This mirror of mine has left me beat.

Opened up for suggestions, ready for a change.

I get more demanding each day.

Escaping my old world, my old way.

Losing the pain, losing the weight.

This mirror of mine will pay.
