Look in the mirror
What do you see???
Compare yourself to
Who you used to be

You dont want to admit it
You dont even want to try
But the person you used to be
not long ago said good bye

They have changed you so much
And fizzled your brain
You've been struck by peer pressure
So much so i cant explian

Sure you wanna be like everyone else
But in the end its true
The only person your going to be
Is just you

Now that you know what you've become
Your forcing yourself back
Things are getting really tough
And just too hard to hack

You look in the mirror one last time
And again say good bye
To the stranger looking back at you
The person who made your life
Nothing but a lie......

this is me.... like it or not....
its who i am!

It's too bad that people choose to succumb to peer pressure! Being yourself takes courage, but in the end, it's what makes you happy. Very well done, Melissa!

I don't know what to say other then I like it...it's so true that we are so worried about how others veiw us that we forget to keep ourselves happy, This is written extremely well, it paints a total mental picture of everytime I have ever second guessed that morning outfit or checked and checked again my make-up making sure it was perfect-keep up the amazing work, you have a lot of talent )
