Myself.

This one, in my opinion, is quite terrible. I just needed to get some things off my chest and onto paper. It doesn’t rhyme and it hardly works. But who cares, right?

I wish that I could see myself

Not through a mirror, 

But through someone else's eyes.

Would I see the ugly girl I see now? 

Or would I see a sick girl, 

The one that everyone tells me about. 

The one thats collar bones stick out 

and shoulders crack with a god awful noise?

Would my nose be as long as I see it,

Or my face as ugly and marked? 

Would my eyes be too big 

On my small face? 

Would people pale,

At the ways I can bend? 

Could something so normal to me

Be weird and abnormal to them? 

I can only see what I see

And that makes me think

Maybe everyone else 

Will only see myself as I see it

As some sad, lonely girl 

That has the self confidence

Of a dead pet rock

People always say 

That beauty is within. 

But we are such hypocrites.

Because we always, always, 

Judge a book by its cover.
