Do I need that lipstick?
Do my hips honestly look that wide?
Are my legs in shape?
Should I run and hide?
This top makes me look too big,
These jeans make my tummy bulge,
I can't wear that crop top;
Maybe I'm too fat,
Do I see myself?
Or, do my eyes deceive what I truly see?
It can't be that bad,
If my friends see the real me,
Still;
Here I am,
Looking at my reflection in the mirror;
Please my pretty mirror,
Can you honestly tell me,
Whose reflection I truly see,
Do I see myself?
Or, do my eyes deceive me?
