Never Enough
Fearing a transparent man-made tool of vanity
A tool who hides nothing
This tool shows you who you truly are
Some may say that you are more than your reflection
However, we know this is not true
Anxiety and I know the truth
My body is all the world, my friends, family, and classmates will ever see
In fact, it's all they'll ever want to see
Never will they see the person I am on the inside, caring, smart, creative, and kind
God intended for all of humanity to judge you for your looks
And that is what will occur for the rest of time. Your anxiety tells you so, and it never lies.
Mirrors will be your enemy as long as you look like you do.
You will never find comfort in your body until you look like (insert unrealistic body standard here).
