Lyrics

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry you won't define me
Sorry you don't own me

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try"


~Barlow Girl, "Mirror"




"Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you’ll never know me.
Every day, is as if I play a part.
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world,
But I can not fool
My heart.

I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in.
But somehow
I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am.


Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that i’m
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There’s a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why:
Why must we all conceal
What we think,
How we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I’m forced to hide?
I won’t pretend that i’m
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?"

~Christina Aguilera, "Reflection"

This weekend I'm taking time for me.  I need to figure out who I am, and how I want to live my life.  I feel like it's easy to get lost in a world where there are so many opinions and choices and influences, and I need to find myself in all of it.
