I look in the mirror
And see everything-
The scars on my arms
From my nails.
The scars on my hips
From razor blades.
The circles below my eyes
From the 2-AM crying.
The extra fat all over
That I want to lose so badly.
The constantly sad eyes
That I can't do anything about.
I wish I could change,
But my appearance
Is who I am now.
