Ok.
So I don't like myself,
the image in the mirror.
And I wish I was beautiful;
my nose was sculpted
cheeks created hills and valleys
lips were sinful, turning chocoholics
to strawberry lovers.
I looked in the mirror;
the image mocked
"if you aren't beautiful today
you never will be"
The tone changed
it was matter of fact
"eyes of a child
in a face age old,
spirit unshackled
bound no more."
Hearing this, I fell in love
again, with myself this time.
Someone in the mirror
winked, licking the chocolate drop!
