In The Mirror

November 19, 2010
By Anonymous

I’ve heard people say I’m beautiful
And I like the way I look
But do I see
Different things about me
Than someone who loves me would

I can’t look at myself
Except through a mirror
And all I see is a face
Switched starring back at me

When I look at myself
I don’t fall in love that would be weird
I try to imagine if someone else
Would think that my face
Was more round

Or more skinny than I see
In the mirror

What stares back at me
Might not be
To someone what they see

What stares at them
Might not be
What stares back at me.
