On loving my body

Go dance through the shadows of the day, I'll do my best to look away
Swim in summer's warming glow, I will pretend not to know
I do try to say I love you ,
But the mirror silences and doesn't let me through
My animatronic rehearsals fail me on the stage
My eyes practiced warmth, but instead they sing with rage
