I'm beautiful but that's between my mirror and me
I stare at her every morning and she goes "girl you're the prettiest thing in the world" I blush, look myself over and giggle "I know"
But the moment I step out, I become a pebble in a sea of over a billion faces

I'm outstanding but that's between my mirror and me
I stare at her every morning and chant words that could convince a village of farmers to go to war with rakes and hoes
But the moment I step out my voice becomes an echo bouncing off ears and hearts

I'm a winner but that's between my mirror and me
I stare at her her every morning and do my celebratory dance cos victory is at my doorstep
But the moment I step out the music ends and my dance becomes a race with no finish line

I am a change maker but that's between my mirror and me
I stare at her every morning and narrate my lavish dreams
But the moment I step out fear greets me and we walk hand in hand down the road of never ending daydream, dilly-dallying on mediocre street

A poem dedicated to all the dreams that died an untimely death because the bearers were too afraid to let it burn
