What is that,

I see no one

I see ugly

I see stupid

I see hated

I see unwanted

I see ...

I cannot be

I cannot want

I cannot beautify

I cannot educate

I cannot like

I cannot ...

I scream

I shout

I yell

I cry

I wail

I ...

Now, know I am

I am no one

I am ugly

I am stupid

I am hated

I am unwanted

I am...

But, I will break

that looking glass

I will embrace

the shards that grip

I will heal 

these wounds

I will smile

and see the shine

I will care

about my feelings

I will speak

with my mind

And my reflection will no longer be their image but my past

Now, see I cannot

I cannot be

I cannot want

I cannot beautify

I cannot educate

I cannot like

I cannot ...

But, I will break

that looking glass

I will embrace

the shards that grip

I will heal 

these wounds

I will smile

and see the shine

I will care

about my feelings

I will speak

with my mind

And my reflection will no longer be their thoughts but my own

Now, hear I

I scream

I shout

I yell

I cry

I wail

I ...

But, I will break

that looking glass

I will embrace

the shards that grip

I will heal 

these wounds

I will smile

and see the shine

I will care

about my feelings

I will speak

with my mind

My reflection will no longer be their words but my voice

I look at myself in the mirror and say the first half to myself all the time. I said the second half to people so much I came to believe it.
