Mirror, mirror on the wall

I am the fairest of them all

Those are the lies you tell to me

Despite the visage that’s plain to see

The image you cast of thoughts untrue

The ugliness that’s in clear view

Don’t dare pretend that you don’t know

The pain you cause with falsehoods told

You can’t control what, in my heart, I feel

With deceptive thoughts meant to mislead

Don’t waste my time, don’t try to sway

I don’t believe a single word you say

Go now, tell me I’m the worst of all

Dear mirror, mirror on the wall
