How She Saw Herself


Anxious ,  grief , and inconsolable .

Repentant, torn and imperfect .
She didn't perceive herself well.  
 
A glance into the mirror 
She starred . 
Seeing scars , mistakes and pain. 
She didn't perceive herself well.
 
Standing in silence ....
 
" I can't do it anymore." She cried . 
 
Shes agitated ..
 
Wanting to scream 
At the top of her lungs . 
Clenching her fist .
Tightening her muscles.
But in silence she stood 
Perceiving herself  ... 
 
If only you could read her mind ..
 
" In the end , everyone turns out to be the person they swore they'd never become." 
- I.S- 
 
"So why try ? " she laughed
 
 as tears ran down .
 
She didn't perceive herself well..
