Mirrors are imperfect for reflection requires two.
One is outside, one is within, but which one are you?
Your body may seem perfect, but it's just the same as mine.
If your heart reflected your appearance it would probably flat line.
Do you feel that pulse reminding you that you’re alive?
Despite what’s in your purse, you're just you and that's alright.
Show me what's inside cause I see the rest all the time.
Let go of the self-resentment. Rather, your spirit be relentless.
Billboards are imperfect for persuasion requires two.
One is searching, one is selling identity.
Do you feel okay with feeling bad when they say you're too old, too fat, too sad, too flat?
We’re slaves to insecurity, and they know that.
So just believe in yourself, you will see
what individuality means, it's not who they want you to be.
Don't define your life by buying into commercial lives.
Let go of the self-resentment. Rather, your spirit be relentless.
You may live guided by the vanity in your room and a TV screen.
May we all lead hideous lives lest we wrest vanity from these 30 second dreams.
If your heart reflected your appearance, all you'd hear is inconsistent beeps.
Pull out the pacemaker and feel your beat.
It's yours and only yours.
You're not flawless, you’re gorgeous.
Whoever you think you are, you are you.
