Wish I Could

I wish I could see you 

 

And look underneath your skin 

 

Find all those little quirks 

 

That make you unique 

 

Find those things that make others like you

 

I want to get to know you better 

 

And see you for you 

 

But its so hard to do 

 

When all I see are you flaws 

 

Flaws on the outside 

 

And flaws on the inside

 

I'm tired of looking

 

At the girl in the mirror 

 

Tired of telling her

 

What I wish I could find and see

This poem is in the perspective of a young girl who wants to look in the mirror and really see herself and not her appearance or her character flaws.  Hope you enjoy. :)
