The New Girl

When I look in the mirror
It's me who I see
A thin, scrawny girl
Is not who I want to be

Freckles adorn my cheeks
Pale lips shaped into a scowl
As I stare at my true image
Who could be my pal?

But when I look away
And I cannot see myself
A new person comes
And the old girl sits on the shelf

The new girl is much prettier
And smarter too
With sparkling eyes
And fashion sense to boot

And as long as I never look
At that girl in the mirror
Those dull green eyes
Will never shed a tear

I don't like myself
And I never will
But as long as I pretend
My self-esteem stays still

My imagination is my only refuge
As long as I stay inside my head
My beauty doesn't falter
And I stand as the new girl instead
