This is one of the few songs i've written. I want to improve it . So I can use all the critiques, comments, and suggestions as possible.
Unititled
Verse1
when you look in the mirror
what is it that you see
self conscious, dependent on makeup
who is it that you want to be
Verse2
aching for a new look
wishing your somthing your not
you rely on opinions
looking for somthing you've got
Chorus
sometimes you got to trust in yourself
throw away the magazines
you don't need beauty from a bottle
or looks from tight blue jeans
just live life fun, live it free
Verse 3
confused by the media
friends that come and go
cuts you down to size
just don't let it show
Chorus
somtimes you got to trust in yourself
throw away the magazines
you don't need beauty from a bottle
or looks from tight blue jeans
just live life fun, live it free
Bridge
dont give up now
can't you see
all the power
all the beauty
Chorus
sometimes you got to trust in yourself
throw away the magazines
you don't need beauty from a bottle
or looks from tight blue jeans
just live life fun, live it free
thanks,

This seems a bit too candid about letting the media make your decision on beauty. Try to play with words a little. Your audience is smart, they'll connect the dots. And if you're telling them to trust in themselves, don't tell them what to do, what they need or don't need.
And I'll say it again, if there is just amazing musical work, lyrics matter much less.
