The Mirror's Lie

An image peers back

All battered and bruised

Someone defeated

Both lonely and used

A young woman's heart

With hate for herself

A desire to be noticed

Leaves her Soul on the shelf

Why don't I look

The way others do

Magazines and movies

Tell me the truth

This world wants one thing

A pencil thin waist

With bones poking out

Yet covered in lace

The mirror it screams

Just a few more pounds

I can't take it no more

Her brokenness sounds

Then a voice in a whisper

So sweet in her ear

You are fearfully made

And cherished my Dear

Why do you hate

What I skillfully craft

I know you better

And I never make trash

Every cell in your body

Every last one

Is something quite special

Yet I am not done

I have a plan and a purpose

For this beauty so rare

To shine in this world

So do not despair

I love you so much

That I died for you

I would not have said this

If it were not true

This world does not see

What real beauty means

For it does not know

The Creator it seems

So trust that I

Made you so unique

And what I placed in you

Is what you should seek
