Mirror
Behind a curtain I see flaws.
An awful body stretched wth cause.
A mass of humiliation waiting to be judged.
A quieted voice from lack of self esteem.
A forced image that in the mirro my brain percieves.
An imagination of who I assume is me.
A jacket that covers and make up as a mask.
Maybe I'll be invisible to make this day pass.
A magazine and ad telling me to be thin.
A faceless boy who laughs at my disgrace.
A haunted girl, me, with her head down to shield the hurt
But with my feelings, I do not disperse.
Maybe that way I won't get hurt.
I'm not the girl I used to be,
I'm not the one that smiles at everything.
I'm not as beautiful as everyone says to be.
I'm not as happy as I say to be.
I'm scared that they will see the real me.
The flesh and blood of what I see.
The self esteem I've never had.
The self esteem that builds confidence and pride.
The mirror I cover with a curtain.
The mirror I avoid with a purpose.
