Sounds from within...

She stares into the familiar eyes, recognizing none.
The same face, same lips, same hair, yet she acknowledges none.
There she stands looking through the mirror into an image created by another,
Another, as mundane as a grain of sand, but not by The Sculptor.

Please let the mirror talk back, please let it show you how beautiful you are.
Untainted by others' opinions, untouched by criticism.
Let us not let anyone else decide who we are,
Let us not let ourselves get lost.

We are who we are, will be who we wish to be.
Let us not let a stranger, let alone a man,
Make us see someone else in the glass,
Let us decide, for once and for all, to define our own reflection.
