Direct Reflection

I am no picture of perfection,

I am flawed all through my being.

What you see is a direct reflection,

Of the pain that I keep seeing. 

I am no picture of perfection,

There is nothing worth imitating here.

What you see is a direct reflection,

Of hope starting to disappear.

I am no picture of perfection,

I try to accept with an open mind.

What you see is a direct reflection,

Of a human just trying to be kind.

I am no picture of perfection,

Just a soul with my heart on my sleeve.

What you see is a direct reflection,

Of a heart that will never leave.

I am no picture of perfection,

I am only trying to do what's right.

What you see is a direct reflection,

Of the world trying to shine a light.

I am no picture of perfection,

I could never see myself that way.

What you see is a direct reflection,

Of a girl trying to make a better today.
