I finally realize
that I can’t believe my eyes
when I’m looking in the mirror
the image ain’t always clearer.
All this time, I’ve been wrong
how I thought all along
cameras have always lied
and mirrors got it right.
I’d say:
“Don’t take my picture, please,
it’s not nice to tease.
Cameras only show the ugly
and never capture the real me
not like a mirror can,”
I did not understand.
Now I changed the rules I live by
once I figured out – mirrors lie.
The perception
of your reflection
is not what people see –
I’m speaking truthfully.
So, I won’t hide anymore
or duck behind the door –
I want pictures of my smile
as I’m laughing all the while –
I want pictures of me and you
showing all the crazy stuff we do.
Take my picture, take my picture,
I want to be a fixture
this moment will be a memory –
Please, take a picture of me.
