This reflection I see I can't believe it's me Looking in a mirror Doesn't seem to be a reality
This self I want to hide This person I'd like to set aside Longing to throw my face like trash Wanting even my very self to crash
Graceful as a flower Makes my head bend lower This person I envy The person whom I want to be
This confidence I lack I just want it back Before, I could stand myself Now, I have shrunken like an elf
Yearning to be someone else Wanting myself a bit less Ignoring me doesn't make sense Neither is banging my head on a desk
This person whom I want to be Came to touch my shoulder with a plea "I, myself, was not made beautifully Please do not be envious of me"
"I don't want an enemy from you My advice for you is simple Look into your heart, trust me it's true Never look from outside, not even a little view"
She left me stunned Wanting to tear myself apart All these years I've admired The person who inspired me a lot
Going back home I decided to look in the mirror Now, I see no error In me, there is no terror
Since then, I've always wanted myself I didn't shrink back to an elf This person I adored Changed my heart with just a word

What can I say except, "Love yourself"?
Really, this is what this is about. Never mind the bad poem construction and random story-telling but that's what the poem longs to say to all of you. You all are beautiful in your own right no matter what the world says.
What do you think? Comment below. :))
