Flaw

don't be afraid. i am with you.

Can't look in the mirror.

Too scared of the sight.

Hideous monster

that's cast from the light.

Afraid of the people

do you see what they see?

The monster outside

or the girl inside me?

My nails bitten down

and my hair out of place

feel like living a chore

I am living a race.

The people will run

when they see what I see

that thing in the mirror

a makeover plea.

My face twisted up

but what do you know?

You take me all in

as if I don't own a flaw.

I'm trying to hide me

but you won't allow

you give me a mirror

a hope and a vow.

To love me for me

the way I was born

though hurt I have been

left to cry and to mourn.

Holding the mirror

I smile, I'm free

there's nothing to fear

of the girl inside me.

So I open the door

and who would have guessed?

The people just smile

you figure the rest.
