Don't Look

When I look in a mirror,
Sometimes I see
A beautiful girl
With shiny brown hair,
The curls nicely framing
Her beautiful face.
Her blue eyes are shiny
And they are
Perfectly complemented
By her long dark eyelashes.
Her body is curved perfectly
And there is nothing
She would change
About herself.

Sometimes,
I see
Someone
Whose eyes are dull
From lack of sleep
And have dark circles under
Them.

Sometimes I see
A girl with
Greasy hair
From not showering
For a long time.
Her hair is hopelessly tangled,
Full of troublesome
Knots.

Sometimes I see
An ugly
Fat girl
Whose belly
Has swelled up
From too
Many trips
To the kitchen.
Her breasts are too small,
Or perhaps they're too big,
Or maybe just
Awkwardly shaped.

Sometimes
I see
A girl
With
A twisted red face
Shining with tears
That
Continuously flow
From helpless
Raging eyes.

I do not look
At those girls for very long.
