Looking glass
Showing the face
Broken with slight cracks
From the abuse
Coming downwards
Sent by the cruel stars
Envious of your beautiful face
Uncorrupted by this place's
Dark hate and fear
They don't understand
Your beautiful face
Doesn't reflect dark or light
But truth that lives
Inside of all of us
Never let them tell you
Truth will bring death
They just don't understand
You are beautiful
And one wonderful day
We will all recognize
Our own beauty and truth
And not even the jealous stars
Could tell us otherwise

This is about not letting anyone tell you that you are worthless or anything like that.
