Mirror glance at an appearance so glamorous
Shiny lip gloss and heels to fit the style so fabulous
Hair of silk to flip to catch astray the eyes like diamond dusted sparkles
Adored alone, sought by none
Tears silently fall down a marble face
Pretend the tears are allergies, no need for apologies
Beneath the hidden recollection
Is the true reflection
The mirror shows the perfect illusion of a perfect girl with a perfect life
No blemishes nor wrinkle lines, everything is fine
Beneath the illusion lies a secret pain
A deep agony nobody is aware of
Scars hidden beneath the skin, cut like a knife within
I want to die, but I can't deny
Can't let the illusion fade, must maintain
A smile is my mask, so nobody asks
The reason for my tears, the wasted years
Why should this Barbie doll cry?
It would ruin her makeup dry
So smile, sparkle, shine, glitter, glow
Congratulations, lonely girl seeped in delusion
You've created the perfect illusion
