Mirrors show reflections
what people want to see
but thats why i hate mirrors
because they show me

mirrors show my mistakes
flaws prblems a smiling face
a smile full of lies
and hides whats hidden inside

mirrors show my imperfections
what i hate to see
i guess i miss the beauty
people lie about to me
