Show it all.

Magic Mirror on the wall 

Do you really reflect it all?

Do you see the true beauty beneath my skin?

Do you see my heart that bleeds?

My soul that cries

The building rage that I must constantly deny.

The crushing weight that I struggle to bear

Do you really reflect it all?

Am I considered fair?

Do others see what I see?

Or am I just the average face with a plastered smile

The perfect girl that can do no wrong

Beneath this mask this curtain

My soul sings a screeching song.

Here now for the world to see

The things that have captured me.

Lust , Alcoholism, hatred , depression

These things have caused my oppression

Now Mirror can't you see.

Pull back the curtain, let in the light

Help me escape this misery

So that at last my soul may take flight
