Looking in the mirror, 

She sees the same thing everyday

People say things

Beautiful, skinny, confident

No one knows the truth


Looking in the mirror,

She sees something different,

Ugly, fat, lame

She thinks its the truth


Looking in the mirror,

Her mother sees something in her,

Kind, sweet, loving

But is she


Looking in the mirror,

Other people say different things

Mean, rude, bully

Others can be mean


Looking in the mirror,

She sees the truth

Depressed, anxious, scared

Looking in the mirror
