The mirror is not kind,
Instead of showing me what I am,
It shows me what I need to be,
I need to be someone else,
I need to be skinnier,
I need to be prettier,
I need to be,
That is all I think about,
Not what I am, Not how strong I am,
Not how brave I am,
All that is seen is a layer,
Not a core, not an essence,
This layer is a barrier, a barrier needed to be broken,
Broken to let the inside out to see the world,
And to show the world what I really am,
