Dear Esther,

How I loath the piece of glass,
The horror that sits up front

"Mirror, Mirror,
Don't you know,
That what you show,
Is killing me?"

I can't stand on my feet,
When I see the horrendous reflection,
That appears,
Every time I reach in

The truth is too appalling;
Too terribly despising
It's my murderer,
My silent killer,
Making me bleed inside,
Throughout every hour of my life

I detest it,
Esther,
Why can't it just leave me be?
Why can't it block out the overweight girl I see?

There's a reason,
Why people cringe when they look at me
I'm not pretty,
Just terrifyingly morbid

Why can't I change,
How I look?
Why can't I change,
Who I am?

I don't deserve to live in this world,
Where everyone is gorgeous,
And I'm just...

Not.
