Don’t Believe The Mirror

Don’t Believe The Mirror

Every day it’s the same thing

Stop at a mirror and stare

Looking for new grey hairs

Or a new wrinkle or two

If you don’t find any

You look closer and closer

Never quite sure if you see them or not

Then the make-up comes out

And your real face disappears

I just watch in amazement

Watching you change before me

Don’t you know that every wrinkle

Every grey hair on your head

And every little imperfection

They make you unique and so beautiful

It’s just too bad that you can’t see it

But, I can and so can everyone else

So, try one day just being you

Because you are beautiful beyond belief
