When i was 12, I didn't see myself as beautiful
I would look in the mirror and see all these things i want to change
I see my freckles and wish my skin was clear
I see my eyes and wish they were a different shade of their natural blue
I see my waist and wish it was smaller
I view my chest and wish it was larger
I view my thigh and don't see a gap,so i carve one with my own hands
I carve my stomach and make myself skinny
I wish that i could push the fat from my stomach into my breasts
because then maybe, just maybe i would be desired.
Would he want me if my chest was bigger?
or if my stomach was smaller?
What if i was shorter? or nicer? or sweeter?
I wonder if i had hair that i could make fall daintily over my breasts
would he want me? maybe in bed?
When i was thirteen i looked in the mirror
I looked at myself, and saw all my fears.
I was afraid to die alone, and to be growing old
I looked in the mirror and saw a girl who looked at herself and saw no worth
she looked at herself and saw all the pain that she has been through.
I am now 15 and see all the same things, No matter the help i receive.
I hurt and cry and scream, but i finally see the beauty withing me.
I see the people who love me,and care.
I no longer just see my hair and weight and figure
i see me in all i am
and
I
AM
BEAUTIFUL
