My Reflection

This whole world is full of insecurities

The whole world, including me

I look at my reflection everyday

And it reminds me that I'm not okay

I'm filled with lies, threats, and rage

I just keep it locked up in an inner cage

I was so worried about what people think

That I didn't realize I was the weakest link

Popularity is what I was after

But my attempts ended in disaster

Hidden behind my outer beauty

Is a fragile girl whose scare and moody

The ugliest girl you will ever meet

And her insecurities have her beat

If I had only known that this was the price

Then it wouldn't have been something I didn't suffice

My actions are something to hate

They lead me to this unbearable fate

So my apologies to my own reflection

Because my actions are what caught all of the attention.
