vanity mirror

I don't look
In the mirror
As often as I probably should

Which is probably why
People call me ugly
Or whisper behind my back
They stare
As they talk to me
Or as I walk by

But
It doesn't concern me
As much as it probably should

Because I was never intended
To be liked
Based upon my vanity

I'd assume
The words coming from my mouth
Words like
Fuck
Bitch
Jackass
And fuck
Would give them a whole different reason to stare

But still
My face
And all of its plain-ness that it has to offer
Ruins the facade
