mirrors

"Mirror" by Barlow Girl

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry you won't define me
Sorry you don't own me

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me"

This song was on the cd that Emily gave me today. Good stuff. I cried for a long time, but it was a good kind of crying. And I thought long and hard about mirrors. I wrote the verses that Emily and I are supposed to be memorizing on every mirror in my apartment with my dry erase markers. I'm feeling very reflective right now. I can't even begin to express how badly I want to take a walk around campus with a certain best friend and talk through it all. But since she's in St. Louis, I'll have to settle for a run by myself or a walk with anyone who wants to walk with me.
