Mirror

I'm thinking of buying a mirror
Cus I've spent too long avoiding my reflection
In fear of what I'd see
Call it exposure therapy, or whatever you'd like
Cus I'm thinking of buying a mirror
In an attempt to like myself

Some may think it's foolish, some may think it's dumb
But the idea of buying a mirror
Has always been frightening to me
I've spent too long looking at my peers
My brain saying "why can't that be you"
Comparison is the thief of joy
A sentiment I know as true

Cus having to spend 15 bucks at target
Is worth not hating stepping outdoors
How long does it take for me to know myself
In order to finally learn how to love myself

Whenever I look in the mirror
A couple of thoughts come to mind
"My chest isn't flat enough
My stomach is too big
My jawline isn't as defined as I'd like
Why does my face look like that"
I just want to be like Spider-man
Is that too much to ask

As I play this song, I wait for it to go away
As I go about my day, I wait for it go away
As I go to bed, I wait for it to go away
As I exist, I wait for it to go away

Cus having to spend 15 bucks at target
Is worth not hating stepping outdoors
How long does it take for me to know myself
In order to finally learn how to love myself

But the act of buying a mirror
Is better than doing nothing at all
