Stood watching myself in the mirror after a tiring day
Dull face, sunken eyes what else can I say
Shocked to see the face in the mirror, I felt like running away
Came a voice from the mirror let me show you something today
Standing speechless I just watched
Before my eyes a carefree toddler flashed
An intelligent and ambitious teenager
Beautiful bride, with dreams to nuture
This is who you were my dear
But they changed you, I fear
They controlled you and made you uncomfortable
They taught you imperfect was unacceptable
Time to realize that it’s your life
Not just a daughter-in-law or wife
Being perfect is an absolute lie
Don’t let the fire inside you die
Promising something to myself I smiled
Reborn with a new ‘ME’, I got things reconciled!
