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

  • Do It For Her

    If you can't do it for yourself

    Then do it for her

    Do it for the girl

    With big ideas

    And even bigger dreams

    The girl who would try to count the stars

    But then sigh and say there was a lot

  • ABC Heart poem

    I'm not sure how I feel about this poem, I don't think it's really good but I really wanted to participate in this challenge. :)

     

    All times my heart has

    Broken into pieces
