The girl in the mirror stares back at me

Is this what others see?

The frayed hair,

The skin that isn't fair?

The voice in the video repeats my words

It sounds worse than screeching birds

Is this what others hear?

How I pity my friend's ear

Everything is fake

This fear keeps me awake

When I should be asleep

But then I hear a beep

A message on my phone

And I know I'm not alone

Loving friends surround me

They make it their job to bring me glee

Thats when I had a realization

Flaws are all about perception

Mine is skewed

Putting me in a constant feud

Fortunately my perception isn't how I'm viewed
