Who is that in the mirror?


Why is your face so feminine?
 
So girly?
 
Why is your body so round?
 
Like a pear with dark spots all over it.
 
You are so beautiful...
 
It's disgusting.
 
Be handsome!
 
Don't wear that shirt!
 
Do you want others to know you have breasts?
 
Out of all the pants in the world
 
You wear skinny jeans?
 
You thighs touch together so much.
 
You are no man!
 
Do you think you can fool them with that haircut?
 
Guess again!
 
You look like a queer!
 
You are unloved in that body!
 
No one is going to love a man
 
That looks like a woman!
 
You disgust me!
 
You disgust yourself.
 
Look at how you appear
 
In the eyes of a stranger.
 
You dream to be a man
 
That you want everyone to approve of.
 
Yet here you are!
 
Trying to fool yourself 
 
And the world!
 
You'll never get there!
 
As long as you have me!
 
Your mirror!
