Mirror

Looking into the mirror

Do you see what I see?

Seeing someone that looks just like me

Staring, looking back at me

Seeing, the ugliness that’s stuck to my skin

Looking into the mirror

Wondering why someone like me would have low self-esteem

Starving myself because I wasn’t comfortable with my weight

Being a beautiful, smart, successful woman was all I dreamed

Looking into the mirror

All I see is a young girl staring at me

With a look on her face that’s screaming WHY ME?

Always insecure about her weight, looks and height

Seeing right through me

It would be days I wouldn’t eat

Looking at me now

Losing weight becoming skinny

Putting makeup on to make feel pretty

At the end of the day

This girl that’s in the mirror

Continues to cry herself to sleep

Because she feels like shell never be that beautiful, smart, successful women she wants to be
