Lesser
I look at the mirror and sees my reflection
Can I be fairer like her complexion?
And as I stare into the depths of my own eyes
Can I have that ocean blue or the ones of sunset hue?
I know I shouldn't wear this color green
But how can I not when I feel disgusted of what I'm not
Look at the crown their wearing
I should have wanted one if I'm not excruciating
I love that beautiful rose in the garden
If only I was not the thorns that cover its body
Everyone could have loved me, touch me gently
Like how of the fingers touch a delicacy
If only I was as good as the mountain scenery
As warm as the see breeze in the summer
It should have pain me less knowing I'm better
But it's not the case, I'm less or maybe even lesser.
