I stand in front of the other me

She stares back.

I judge her, all of her imperfections are mine

And I cry,

Because I wish I was her.

She does not care about their words,

That cut like diamonds from beautiful mouths.

Because they are perfect, unlike her

But she doesn’t care.

She doesn’t mind.

Because she,

Is just a reflection.

I struggle with mental health issues, and this poem represents the body image and self-esteem issues that I and many people my age struggle with.
