Mirror pt 2
My arms are too flabby, My head’s too big, My face has acne, My hair is frizzy. These flaws, they're normal For everyone but me. I need to look perfect, Impeccable, in order to breathe. I need to lose 30 pounds And gain 4 inches But i know deep down, My wishes are just wishes. I cry, and I hit. I just wanna be pretty, I just wanna be fit. I want to look original, But also like the girls around me. All this confusion It likes to hound me. I cry and i scratch Until I can't see. That's when i calm down, When I get close enough to ease. Once i cant see my ugly, I know it's time for bed. When i lay down, And wish for my flaws to be dead. I'm stuck in a cycle, I'll do the same in the future. Oh how i hate you, I don't say to the mirror.
