You’re looking at the mirror now watching time go by
Tell yourself I’d be better if this or maybe that
If only that were this wistfully sigh
Do the people who you watch unobserved have faults?
Of course not you spit indignant
What would they have to feel bad about like me?
No wonder their confidence is so high being person x
They embody everything everything ever
So instead you emulate your imaginary perfect
Try to correct some part that is fine …..no really
Leave it as it is a message to the young
You will look back later and wonder when you are broken
Have allowed the world to break your component parts
And maybe reshape you
Only then will you get the message
Be true to yourself always, be who you are
Change nothing to conform to ideas of others
But only change to better you from inside
