1.The one reflected in the mirror is more beautiful than anyone
2.The answer lies within me
3.Imposed values, others’ judgments—
4.I can’t be bothered with beauty in the mirror5.
6.Like healing my tired wings
7.I searched for a place to rest
8.But so that I could take off again when morning came
9.I kept looking up at the sky10.
11.My loosened hair sways in the wind
12.I cast off my soiled clothes
13.I wipe away all the dull sentiments
14.Here I am—unadorned, as I truly am15.
16.The one reflected in the mirror is more beautiful than anyone
17.The answer lies within me
18.Imposed values, others’ judgments—
19.I can’t be bothered with them
20.Each time I touch the skin of the me in the mirror
21.The warmth travels down through my fingers
22.As long as I live, I seek the meaning of it all—
23.So breathtaking is this beauty in the mirror24.
25.If I had lived relying on someone else
26.What kind of view would I have seen?
27.But I couldn’t just let everything be taken from me
28.So I chose to become strong29.
30.The heat of the earth melts into the night
31.Another day passes, never to return
32.The wounds I want to forget still ache—
33.But I’ll carry them all with me34.
35.Before it all vanishes like a dream
36.I’ll reach out and pull it close
37.Even my awkward figure, my pitiful heart—none of it is meaningless
38.Surely, the answer is something seen at journey’s end
39.For now, I go on with hope beside me
40.Coveting what I lack, feeling envy—even those reveal to me
41.A beauty in the mirror only I can see42.
43.As the brief seasons repeat, I’ve learned—there is no rain that never ends
44.And I’ve decided: No matter what I lose, I will never regret it45.
46.The one reflected in the mirror is more beautiful than anyone
47.The answer lies within me
48.Imposed values, others’ judgments—
49.I can’t be bothered with them
50.Each time I touch the skin of the me in the mirror
51.The warmth travels down through my fingers
52.As long as I live, I seek the meaning of it all—
53.So breathtaking is this beauty in the mirror
