Mirror Mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?
Surely me it couldn't be
For all I see are girls
Much more beautiful then me
With their pretty face
And a skinny waist
Here I am
So out of place
Mirror Mirror lie to me
Show me what I wish to see

The author's comments:
I wrote this article in the beginning of my senior year. I feel that girls have too much pressure put on them to be the prettiest or to look just right. So many beautiful girls have such low self-esteem. Don't care pair yourself to others. By doing that you'll only find what you don't have.
