mirror mirror on the wall, who is the ugliest of them all?

"sigh, when can you ever stop asking, it's y-"

"namjoon, it's not you for god's sake."

"woah, who are you?"

"i'm you but like the mirror version."

"why, what, how, when, how."

"you know it pains me to see you every day, saying
how ugly you are and all i can do is just copy what
you do and say."

"but i am ugl-"

"namjoon, i'm sick of you saying you're ugly each day.
you're not ugly. nobody in this world is.
everyone is beautiful in their own way, but because of society,
it fucks us up with what's beautiful and what's not."

"that's nice but-"

"but nothing. look carefully at yourself.
your eyes: they are shiny, they are big,
they are unique, they are beautiful.
your nose: it is cute, it is tall,
it is smol, it's perfect.
your lips: they're thicc, they're plump,
they're rosy and when you smile, it's cute.
your dimples: they're deep, they're cute
and people would die to have them."

"yeah i know but-"

"ugh, stop with the buts. this namjoon.
these are what makes you, you.
and it shouldn't be
changed because of other people.
what's the point of making
other people happy,
when you're not happy yourself?"

"i guess you're right."

"and there are two
types of people in the
world in which
you can only satisfy
one of them.
and in the end, you're still
going to get criticised, so you
might as well do whatever
or look however the fuck you want."

"wow thanks, i never
thought, i needed
to hear those words..."

"you're welcome.
also, go look at yourself
in the mirror. but this time
love yourself for
who you are."

"i'll try...
here goes nothing...
i do look great...
because i am me.
and no one can change that.
besides me!"

"i'll try...
here goes nothing...
i do look great...
because i am me.
and no one can change that.
