Never trust a mirror.

For a Mirror always lies.

It makes you think all your worth,

can be seen from the outside.

Never trust a mirror.

It only shows you what's skin deep.

You can't see your eyelids flutter,

when you're drifting off to sleep,

it doesn't show you what the world sees,

when you're only being you,

or how your eyes light up when you do what you love.

It doesn't capture when you smile,

where no one else can see,

and your reflection cannot tell you,

everything you mean to me,

never trust a mirror,

for it only shows your skin,

and if you think it dictates who you are,

its time you looked within.
