My Mirror Be Lying — I Swear I Looked Finer This Morning

Let me speak my truth.
When I woke up this morning, I was glowing.
Waves waving.
Dreads dreading.
Skin looking like God personally filtered me.
But then… I made the mistake.
I looked in the mirror.
And what I saw?
That wasn’t me.
That was a disrespectful version of me.
🪞 The Mirror Got a Personal Problem
I don’t know what beef my mirror has with me.
Maybe it’s jealous.
Maybe it's from the streets.
But one thing’s clear:
It wakes up every day ready to ruin my confidence.
Hair? Flat.
Face? Ashy.
Eyes? Like I just fought three spiritual battles in my sleep.
Mirror really looked at me like:
“This the main character?”
“This the guy with ‘silent hustle’ in his bio?”
“Try again, champ.”
📱 But My Front Camera Is Even Worse
Sometimes I think my front camera was made by my enemies.
You ever open that selfie cam by mistake?
And it hits you with that angle from the underworld?
Chin looking like it's storing data.
Eyes like they been buffering.
Face like you owe it money.
I be like:
“I swear I don’t look like this in real life…”
But the camera don’t care.
It’s just there, exposing secrets I didn’t even know I had.
✨ But Then I Catch Myself in the Car Window…
And boom 💥
I’m a GQ cover model.
Car window reflection got me looking like a silent billionaire.
Like I own 3 passports and don’t text back.
That’s the version of me I believe in.
That’s the one I manifest.
So now, when I feel ugly?
I just go stand next to a tinted car.
Let the mirror say what it wants.
Let the camera lie.
I believe in car window me.
Final Thoughts:
Mirror: 1
Confidence: still undefeated.
Sometimes, the mirror lies.
But deep down, I know what I really look like.
Fine with a touch of street danger.
Pretty with purpose.
A lil rough around the edges, but that’s flavor.
So next time you catch your reflection and think,
“Damn, am I really this dusty?”
Tell yourself:
“Nah, that’s just the broke version of me from Earth-2.”
And go stand by a car.
Preferably Benz.
Preferably tinted.
