Look at my broken reflection
Mirror mirror is that really me?
This person that stares back
Surely that’s not what others see
I wouldn’t let myself go out like this
It must be a trick
My clothes wouldn’t be rumpled, I wouldn’t have dark circles
My makeup certainly wouldn’t be this thick
Is my belly really that big?
I go to the gym every now and then
I don’t remember my teeth being yellow
I think I better look again
Mirror mirror on the wall I think you lie
I don’t believe that person is me
There is no way I look like that
This really cannot be
