When i look in the mirror
All i see is what i most hate
I know I'm not perfect
I know I'm not a size zero
I don't need every person
Telling me what I'm not
I know all this and so much more
I wish it was all a lie
And i could look like a Barbie doll
That blonde pretty skinny girl
Is who i should hate
Not myself
For inside I know I'm the prettiest of all
But even though I know this
Sometimes that thought crosses my mind
That horrible deadly thought
Of doing what i should not
I hope i never do it
For than i could never turn back
Stuck in a world
Where beauty is everything
Mind comes last
And body comes first
I need to stay strong
Ignore what people say
Look in the mirror
And know I'm beautiful
No matter what they say
