When I look into the mirror I see
A patchwork of everything I didn't think I'd be
I was a bright and burning star back then
But now I'm just a throbbing red giant
Rabid hair like a lion's mane dying
My head under running tap water, I'm crying
If now I'm nothing but a stitched up doll
Maybe two ponies were cooler than one after all
I know that I was pretty amazing before
But I was so ready to not be that anymore
Who knew it'd only take me downhill
Where I'll be contemplating shoving a hundred pills
However, what's done is done already
I'm done with keeping myself unsteady
This patchy girl is still quite lovely
'Cause there are some who see me differently
Handmade dolls are vintage but beautiful
So I'll feed myself with encouragements spoonful
Even if I'm not going be the one I admired yesterday
I'm going to strive to be admirable anyway.
