I don't want to look in the mirror and see failure anymore. 

I don't want to wish away my shadow. 

I want to think of my reflection as beautiful. 

Want to take pride in every one of my features. 

So why is it so very hard to make myself into something I can accept?

Why is it so hard to simply let my image reflect the one I have been given? 

Will I never see myself the way I was intended to look, when I have tampered with my own appearance? 

Why can I not beat this?

Why can I not tame this demon inside of me? 

Why is it that the hardest and longest war I have ever fought, has taken place all inside my mind?
