When I Look in the Mirror
I can see beauty
In every person.
So why is it so hard in me?
Everyone says
"You are your own worst enemy"
But I don't think its the same
For everyone else.
I dont think other people
Want to scratch their own face off.
Pull their hair out,
Or shave it bald.
I dont think other people
Go to the measures I do
To be slightly okay with themselves
Despite the consequences.
How many other people
Look in the mirror
And cry in front of themselves
Just to walk out
Like it never happened.
Beauty doesnt matter,
I believe that.
Then why cant I accept how I look?
Sometimes, its not even that im ugly.
I just cant fathom that that's me.
I know that doesnt make sense to other people.
So here's what I mean...
When you say a word,
Over and over,
Until it doesnt sound like anything.
That's what i see
When i look in the mirror.
