Poems of Overcoming Obstacles

A Reflection

Looking in the mirror

Can't stand to look at myself

I wonder who I've become

Try to take some breaths

Looking back 

Same thing, but there's something different

There's a tear

I'm crying

Thinking why I'm so ugly

Why I'm so skinny

I need to eat more

Try to fit in

Be bigger

Just don't show the shadows

They can't see

They can't here

All these thoughts and emotions

It'll stand out

I don't want to anymore

Why do they "act" as if they like me

They should get on with their lives

I'm trying to get on with mine

Trying to see the light

Open a door

Look for another opportunity

I look up one more time

I see light

I see it in my face

There's a smile

I decided to share it with the world
