Every time I look in the mirror
The misplaced feeling bubbles up
With misplaced shoes and
Mismatched socks,
Jeans a size too big
A belt torn and bent,
Shirts wrinkled and never fitting

I look in the mirror
See my blue-green eyes
See my slightly big nose
I see my crooked teeth,
With my curly ash-brown hair

I talk to my friends
I try to be myself
I'm not funny,
I'm not intresting
I'm awkward

I kinda want to fit in
Inside I'm alone,
Inside I'm falling deeper
Inside I'm dying
I don't like to feel this way
I'm all alone

I see only my imperfections
What everyone else doesn't see
I see perfectly
My shortness-somewhat cute
MY loudness-annoying
My obnoctiousness-obnoctious

When I look in the mirror,
I can't stand what I see.
