Myself

I look into the mirror

But I don't see myself

what I see is never me

But it's somebody else



The person looking back at me

Has features I dispise

The figure here in front of me

Has blonde hair and blue eyes



I take off all my make-up

My mouth is in a frown

I feel like I am spinning

My life is up-side-down



I'm no longer pretty

Not like I used to be

The figure in the mirror

Is what everyone will see



They'll hate the way I look

Just like I do myself

I wish I could leave this body

And be somebody else



I've got to do something

But what more can I do

Destroy the one I'm looking at

And look for something new?



I've died my hair,

I've plucked my brows

But I still look the same

Sometimes I'm just too tired

To play this stupid game



Will peolple ever like me

That I do not know

But first I have to like myself

And have to let it show



So I won't change a thing

I'll just look again

Who I see in the mirroor

is really my best friend

Great poem! But you wonna know something? Never ever change yourself because someone wonts you to or you wonna be someone else. Nugh ugh wrong. If everyone looked alike and acted alike in the world we would be in hell. Literally. Your beautiful and dont let no one tell you anything else. We all are gonna get old someday. So dont worry about beauty or what your eyebrows look like. Natural beauty is the best beauty anyone can afforf. =o)
