I Looked Into the Mirror, What Did the Mirror Say?
I looked into the mirror; what did the mirror say "You're the ugliest kid I've seen, will you please go away"
My feelings had been hurt; I was really crushed I combed my hair, washed my clothes, my teeth had all been brushed I took my fathers brand new coat and my brothers blue bow tie I came back to the mirror to get a new reply Mirror mirror on the wall, how do I look to you "Just like that ugly kid," the mirror said as I withdrew
I found my mothers make-up kit and my grandmother's green wig I spread some lipstick on my lips and made my chest look big I put my sister's sweater on, I rolled up both the sleeves The mirror didn't say a word and I was so relieved Then finally it spoke to me and made me feel so dumb It said, "You're still weird and ugly...how come?"
I couldn't fool that mirror, no matter how I tried I spent days and days trying and crying lots inside I changed the way I dressed and talked, read every fashion book What's important is who you are--not the way you look The best reflection on who you are comes from another place But I bought a brand new mirrir and vest and got a haircut just in case! I looked into the mirror; what did the mirror say "You're the ugliest kid I've seen, will you please don't go away"
