A world without mirrors

How perfect am I in the eye of the crowd?
In their eyes, I behold my reflection, loud
Clouds in clear water
Will beauty come after?
I hope some day, of me I will be so proud.

I will be so proud to wear this ugliness
And smiles to adore my unattractiveness
If the boys stare away
When I walk on the way
Then I know it takes light to see this blackness
