My Mirror

I have a big mirror in my room

It stretches the length of me

Showing everything

Every morning I stand

Right in front of it

I see all my flaws

I see everything

That isn't perfect

I see a messed up girl

I see a girl

With bony hips

Blemishes covering the face

Skinny legs

Big feet

It doesn't matter

If no one else sees it

I do

So I put on a mask

Of confidence

Of joy

I'm bubbly

I'm sweet

I'm annoying to some

Because I'm happy

I would rather be annoying

Then be vulnerable

I would rather be loud

Then be exposed

I don't look perfect

To anyone

But I look happy

Joyful

Bubbly

Innocent

As if I don't

Stare in the mirror

Every morning

And comment

On my own appearance

    And they ask for the universe

     

    What do I do if falling in love

    Is like free-falling but not knowing where
