When I Look In The Mirror
When I look in the mirror I can see me again. After all those years of playing pretend, it's the me that I was back at five years old. Before I was lied to, before I was told watch what you eat,
To brown in the sun to cover up my lines or I'll never be loved. They made fun of my nose and the point of my chin. And never once taught me how to see within. We look through a filter, a distorted mask, let the tears of pain clear the fog from the glass. Labels aren't written in permanent ink, they're societal makeup you can wash down the sink. Cause who I really am is more than deep skin. I'm the love, I'm the spirit, the me that's beneath. And if we realize that THIS is who we really are, we identify less with what divides us apart, we're obsessed as a culture of "beauty" and rank. Have we all forgotten deep down we're the same?
When I live in this place, I have thing to prove. The mirror starts reflecting more of the truth. I love my hair and my eyes and the shape of my nose. Cause the lights from within is now making me glow. After all of the years of playing pretend. When I look in the mirror, I can see me again.
