I look in the mirror at what do I see

I see an insecure girl staring back at me

You look in my mirror and what do you see

You see an overweight girl a, a girl that’s me

I'm sick of my weight being all people see

I'm sick of my brains being what define me

Yes I'm fat and yes I like science; you see

But is that really all of me?

I love art, I have a fervor for business, I love to travel and see,

the word. Why do 2 things have to define me?

I don't want to be the "friend", you see

I want to me the "one", I want you to look at me.

I'm not the Wizard, whom the Lion and Dorothy can't see,

for he seemed grand, but was small unlike me.

Invert the sentence and then you see

I seem insignificant until you look inside me.

So next time you overlook the "chubby" or "nerdy" girl you see,

realize that she can love poetry and theater; she’s just like me.

Titles and boxes limit your vision; instead, look across the sea.

For the ocean seems calm at first glance, like me 

It is not until you dive deep that you see

it's teaming with life, that's ME.
