Stuck
Trapped
A look in the mirror, just to confirm that you hate what you see

A body that belongs to you,
The only one you’ve ever known
Long, wavy hair falling down past your shoulders
Curves attacking you no matter how you turn
A reminder that you aren’t who you want to be

The mirror image showing your reality
Your mind holding a burning desire to see you as you should be
A picture of short-cut hair, with piercing eyes to match
A lack of curves, and all the right pieces

But what you see is what you’ve got
Stuck in a body that isn’t yours
Trapped like a bird in a cage, wishing to be free
Wishing to look in the mirror, just to confirm that you love what you see
