The Person in the Mirror

The person in the mirror

She isn't me

She’s what I hope that I

Will never be

Yes, she smart, she’s pretty

She’s confident, she's great

She’s a seemingly perfect person

But she wears my face

But I don't think she likes me

She smirks when I try to smile

She whispers “it’s not worth it”

When I try to look nice for a while

Some days I wake and wonder

Will she have gone away?

And when I look at my reflection

Will I finally see my face?

Or will she be there, grinning

Not leaving me alone

Making me feel like I am wrong

For being in my own home

I know she isn't human

Cause she causes me to see

A fat, ugly monster

In the place of me

I know it can't be true

And I’m not that bad today

But even the most common knowledge

Can’t take the pain away

Does everyone have another?

Person in the mirror

Or am I the only one…


That is what I fear.
