In mirrors’ cruel embrace we stand,
Reflecting tales of others’ dreams,
A world defined by shifting sand,
Where beauty’s more than what it seems.

The whispers tell of flawless skin,
Of eyes that shine like stars at night,
Yet true allure lies deep within,
Where heart and soul find their own light.

These standards built on fleeting trends,
Like shadows dancing in the sun,
But beauty’s truth, it never bends,
In every face, a story spun.

Embrace the self, in all its grace,
For in uniqueness, we are free,
Beyond the surface, find your place,
In love’s reflection, let it be.
