I look in the mirror,
And I see a girl.
I look in the mirror,
Not believing this is me.
I look in the mirror,
Staring at the dark circles under the girl's tired eyes.
I look in the mirror,
At the girl's uncombed hair.
I look in the mirror,
Seeing a cut on the girl's cheekbone.
I look in the mirror,
And raise a hand to the girl's face.
The girl is me.
What a disgrace.

Is not genetic.
Quite often, the things that
Makes you memorable
is the things that makes
you different.
