The Girls Persona
May 17, 2022
I study my face
I try to see the girl I know
I can’t find her.
I try to fix my hair
Make sure my makeup is ok
Or maybe it's the angle
I end up just staring.
My face is now filled with disappointment.
I know it's me so why am I scared?
I don’t feel like my face is who I am.
I quickly put my phone down
Now it doesn’t matter.
Or maybe it does?
Now I'm self conscious
Frustration consumes me--
When will I like the way I see myself?

In my writing class we were given a task to write a poem about what we see when we look at ourselves. As a person who struggles with Body Dysmorphia, looking at myself gets me discouraged. I wanted to put my feelings into this poem and well this is the result.
