Truth

As I stand in front of the mirror,
My eyes show fear,
For I see beauty,
But what’s inside is unsightly.

Deep inside I’m filled with hate,
yet all I can do is blame it on fate,
People believe me to be so vain,
but they can’t see that inside I’m in pain.

I live by the night,
because I fear the truth of the light,
I used to care only about winning,
but I’ve realized it’s left me with nothing.

So I stand here alone,
seeing now that my fate’s been shown,
Until I love myself for who I am,
there is not another soul who can.
