TAKE AWAY THE MIRRORS

Take away the mirrors
Rip them from the walls
I don’t want to see myself
Not anytime at all

Take away the mirrors
And my confidence will soar
I will fly like an eagle
For ever evermore

Take away the mirrors
And I will be again reborn
Strong and invincible
The girls will never scorn

Take away the mirrors
And I am sleek and lean
No more need for jogging
No more baggy jeans

Take away the mirrors
You’ll see I am the best
No one can derail me
From my chosen quest

Take away the mirrors
And I’ll never be depressed
I will laugh and sing all day
No joy will be repressed

Take away the mirrors
That image isn’t me
I am what I feel inside
And that’s the way I want to be
