Reflection ~
They say she is beautiful…
but her reflection doesn’t see it
Social media has her delusional
Presumable plastic females are the usual
They say she is intelligent…
but her reflection doesn’t know it
Hesitant to accept flattery as evidence...
She's not amusable to cerebral embellishments
They say she is passionate…
but her reflection doesn’t feel it
Adamant she is physically inadequate
She only knows loves’ abandonment
They say she is confident…
but her reflection doesn’t believe it
Playing the devil’s advocate
She is a free-spirited maverick
They say she leaves a good impression…
but her reflection doesn’t perceive it
Past experiences leave her self-aware
She cares to give her own impression
No affection for lack of perfection…
she’s under her own reflections inspection
Imperfections are hard to ignore
But she’s not losing her own self-rapport
The world only views her weaknesses…
Her reflection deflects the cheapness of public opinion
She makes a decision to know her worth
Giving herself permission to realize she’s one in a million
