PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I plaster a smile on my face

So you can't see the tears in my eyes

I look at you and say I am fine

So you won't know how I feel inside

You make me feel ugly

Every time you look at me

And now when I look in the mirror

I hate the person I see

I can't remember the last time

You told me I was pretty

Instead your words come out

And stab me in the heart like a knife

You have hurt me in ways

I cannot even express

I seek your approval

But get nothing

There is always something wrong with me

In your eyes

And here I am before you

Dying inside

So now I will go yell

To that person in the mirror

And tell that person

How horrible they are

I used to think I was beautiful

But now I know that I am not

And never will be

So here I am wiping

Away the tears in my

Refkection's eyes

And telling her

That everything is gonna be all right
