Body Image

I've learned that you see yourself way differently than everyone else sees you.

There are so many people who may think you're beautiful.

So many that soon you begin to believe them.

But then you return home,
look in the mirror,
and wonder if every single person lied through their teeth.

I've always struggled with body image issues.

It's so hard for me to feel even remotely beautiful nowadays.

I get so caught up in my mind.

I see how many people around me are thin,
healthy,
to put it plainly: beautiful.

Then I look at myself.

And I see nothing of them in me when I glance into the mirror.

No life,
no healthiness,
no happiness,
nothing beautiful at all.

So maybe my body image is distorted.

Maybe I'm just getting sick of looking at this same face day after day.

And I know I'm never going to be beautiful until I believe I am,

But how am I supposed to believe I'm beautiful
when, whenever I look into the mirror,

I'm reminded that I'm not.
