Someone Else

When I look in the mirror
Why do I always see
The reflection of a woman
That I wish was not me

My face is not right
All I see are the flaws
The negative, the bad
I have nothing good at all

Too short for my weight
Too fat for my height
My clothes never fit
I can't get anything right

I diet and run
All to no avail
I am crushed when the numbers
Laugh at me from the scales

I will never be a girl
That anyone wants to see
I am ashamed I let others
Take happiness from me

I go back to the mirror
Hoping to see someone else
Oh, how I wish I could learn
To just love myself
