Mirror, mirror, on the wall

Why do I have to hear them all

The judgements… words that, once they’re said

Will always echo in my head

Too fat, too thin, at different times

Too weak, too strong, in other’s minds

Too short, too tall, unfeminine

Too scarred, my life writ’ on my skin

If I could stop that litany

Perhaps, for once, I’d just see me

And maybe then, I’d like me too

The way that others seem to do
