Insecurities


I am looking at the girl staring back at me

She’s too skinny

Why can’t I let it be

Maybe she’s shiny

She’s to tall

She’s stupid

She’s not pretty at all

Why do you gotta be so cruel

This person staring back at me is myself

I am looking in the mirror

I look on my shelf

I just need something to take this pain away

STOP!!! You can't think like that

The girl staring back at me is just right

Not to skinny not to fat

She is the perfect height

She’s smart

She’s not pretty at all

She’s gorgeous
