I look in the mirror,
And I say to my skin,
"I love the way you glow"
The way the sun
emphasizes my "flaws,"
like my acne
I look in the mirror,
And say to my smile,
"Never turn into a frown
because of what someone said
Or because of
those thoughts in my head"
With these teeth,
I could heal the blind.
Keep on shinin'
I look in the mirror,
And say to my body,
Wow,
"I don't know why
I would ever hate you"
How could I hate
the legs that helped me walk
When I didn't even think I could crawl,
How could I hate
the arms that have held me
And hugged me
When no one else could,
How could I hate
the stomach that wants me to eat
And be happy,
I look in the mirror,
And say to my
Booty,
Ooh wee,
Can't nobody own this
except me
I look in the mirror,
And say to my hair,
I love my kinks and my curls,
I am a 'natural' at this
I look in the mirror,
and say to my soul,
"I love you,
And i would never
let anyone hurt you,
Not even me."
so don't put me down
because you see something
that you know you can't have
this body,
this face,
this hair,
it's all mine,
and I plan on spending
the rest of my life with it.
