i looked in the mirror they were wrong
I looked in the mirror they were wrong
It’s started in the first grade
Nobody would talk to me because they were too afraid
People would talk
They would even look at me and gawk
I was the only one who wore glasses
In my first grade classes
They called me names
All because of these frames
My chest grew big at a young age
Everyone would laugh and hate
The kids were cruel
They said I would never be useful
WELL GUESS WHAT THEY WERE WRONG
I was told I would never make anything out of my life
That’s funny because now I am a wonderful wife
I was hated from every angle of the school
All because I wasn’t cool
Middle school wasn’t much better
Because I was not a very good tester
Teachers were impatient
The back of the class I was always stationed
As of where I struggled seeing the board
But also I was ignored
I never had any friends
I thought I was going to be alone until the end
BUT GUESS WHAT THEY WERE ALL WRONG
I looked in the mirror I wanted to sing a song
A song of joy for I was alive
No need to send out my awful cries
People talked I didn’t care
They would laugh and stare
I have grown no attention of it
There was no need to quit
I am beautiful
I have learned that there are people who feel mutual
I am who I am and that is a someone
I had this change all of a sudden
I am wonderful
Now I may shine bright and be colorful
THEY WERE WRONG
I looked in the mirror and they were wrong
