Be the change that you wish to see in the world.


In the mirror and see a different person every single day

Some days beauty burns within my eyes

Glows on my cheeks

The next, its ripped away from me

A cold stanger glaring back

An image I wouldn’t want to see

Slight imperfections everywhere

Never good enough

Until it is

Me


The author's comments:

Many teens struggle with confidence and self-esteem issues, including myself. I wrote this to highlight the struggle and show some of the thoughts that go through our heads because we don't like the way we look, or we simply just aren't good enough for society's standards.
