10 Minutes

10 minutes

before the mirror

before school

before my shirt goes on.

10 minutes

thinking

"am I too fat?"

"am I too thin?"

"oh God, don't do that."

"don't suck it in."

10 minutes

realizing

it doesn't matter

I'm fine how I am 

Who am I trying to flatter?

Image goals are a scam.

10 minutes

remembering

Who I am right now

Who I chose to be

Is perfect, really, wow.

I'm so glad that I'm me.
