Mirror Image
March 22, 2021
I make the girl in the mirror my enemy
I take bits of myself and rip them apart
I see the girl I used to be
I wish I could see myself once again as art
I try to sculpt myself to someone I can not be
I just wish I could restart
Go back to the time where I can once again see
The beautiful girl staring back at me
I know that one day I will not see my flaws but the beauty I hold
Maybe that is what it is like to be free
To not compare or mold
But to love the true me
So for now that girl may be my enemy
I know it won’t be forever, and that is the key.

I wrote this poem to show that no one is perfect and everyone struggles with loving themselves and knowing that it's gonna be ok.
