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

  • Can't Change Me

    She upsets me

    Her face

    The way she laughs

    The way she talks

    She's like the piece of hair

    That is never in the right place

    Why does she even wear that

    Why does she look like that

    Looking at her
