75. Mirror

When I look into the mirror
What exactly do I see?
Is it twisted by my concious,
Or is it meerly me?

When i see myself in glass,
What exactly do I say?
"My thighs too thick, my nose too wide."
Or, "I was born this way!"

When i breathe a shallow breath.
As I look me up and down.
A chorus of rejections of
My body make me frown.

My insecurities get the best of me,
As i look away, ashamed.
My eyebrows, thick and dark,
My hair, never been tamed.

I look back, so reluctantly,
Afraid of what I find.
But what is there is different then,
How I looked in my mind.

When I look in the mirror, I hate what I see. Disappointment staring back at me. Let down myself, my family and my savior. I am everything I hate, everything I fear.

Low Self Esteem.

Friends: You're so pretty and skinny. Guys: Ew, what is that thing. My face: Even surgery can't fix your ugliness. My thighs: Cut down on the bad food. My stomach: You eat to much.

Shy.

I really cannot help myself, I am as meek as a mouse, When some stranger makes eye contact, My mouth just clamps itself shut.
