{she's staring back at me.} 5.29.12

I look at myself in the mirror and I don’t like what I see.
I see huge bags under my eyes, and a toenail that’s broken.
I see pants that should fit right, and a shirt that hangs way too loosely.
I see fingernails that need repainting and hair that needs fixing.
I see someone whose out of place in a world full of beautiful people.
but you are beautiful.
I love your hair!
You’re perfect.
I love your nails.
I don’t see it.
I see imperfection.
I see things that need to be changed.
So I blame society for ruining me.
When you look in the mirror and don't like what you see. It bothers me too,  you know.
