I look in the mirror.
I look in the mirror every morning,
and silently,
to myself,
I point out my flaws.
I look in the mirror every morning,
and I wish to be,
who I really am.
I look in the mirror every morning,
just to see,
who everyone will see,
today.
I look in the mirror every morning.
I ask myself why I can't be me.
Then I remember,
The me that I am,
And the me that is me,
Are two different people.
I look in the mirror every morning,
and I see what is not truly me.
I see my face, my body,
my eyes, nose, me.
I look in the mirror every morning,
and the face staring back at me,
is just a cover up.
A lie to please these strangers.
They look at me everyday,
and see a fragmented girl.
She's scared of the world,
and what they might think.
They look at me everyday,
and I hide myself,
to protect myself,
and I put the real me on the shelf.
