For jamilasayida. Thank you for the votes, may you find your true reflection!!!

Oh! Mirror, you vile thing,

Right when I was confident of my body,

Of the flaws of my face,

And scars that are permanently etched,

You easily crumble it,

And mock me using my own reflection,

I love my imperfections,

But seeing you slap me with my flaws,

It makes me want to huddle in a corner,

To hide my body from your cruel eyes,

And whisper soothing words to myself,

One thing I'm thankful for though,

Is you letting me see my own self,

And learning to love my own reflection.
