why am I me.
Why is it that every time I look in the mirror I see myself
I want to see someone else.
I don't want to see my curly brown hair and my ugly
Freckled face.
I want to see any other color of hair thats straight.
I want to see a perfect tan face with hardly any freckles.
I don't want to see me.
I want to have lips as red as strawberries.
And skin as soft as a blanket yet i'm still stuck with my
Kind of pink lips and my pimple filled face.
I look at myself and try to imagine a beautiful version.
But as tight as I shut my eyes it doesn't work
I just see an obis of darkness.
I want to be enough.
I want to look in the mirror and say hey I look good today.
But I can't.
Nobody can.
Even if we try to see ourselves as perfect as we are
It just doesn't work. We still think we are ugly
And sure I have my flaws but I am beautiful inside and out.
We are all perfect in our own ways.
