The girl in the mirror

Tousled hair framing her face  
Blue eyes staring back at me
Sighing she turns away
Was this all they could see
 
A china doll
A trophey on a shelf
Her mind full of knowledge  
Made keep it too herself
 
Unwanted looks  
Unsavory attention  
Her hopes and dreams  
They never got a mention  
 
Wear a fake smile
Answer with grace
Play the part
As long as she showed her face
 
Turning back to face me  
A smile of true happiness  
Shining up into her eyes  
Now seen for all she is
 
Her life of being paraded  
Seems so far away  
But the girl in the mirror  
She reminds me everyday
