Someone stares back from the mirror
Not the me I thought I am
Looks way worse than what I thought
From pictures on Instagram
Only if I were like her
Maybe I'd look much better
My reflection in the mirror
Would start to smile at me
Only if I were thinner
I'd look cute in that sweater
But for me it does matter
What other people see
If I could fix myself
Maybe change things in my face
Then life would be so well
If I starve and lose some weight
But I will never change
I will always be me
And that's one I really hate
If only I could be
