Look at the mirror darling – what do you see?

Hair that feels like straw and looks like dirt,
Eyes that wander and plead - brown eyes - because I’m so not unique,
A mouth curved into a scowl, with chapped lips and crooked teeth,
One big mole on my neck, right below the point of my chin,
Too-small boobs and too-wide waist (if my boobs are that small, I should be skinnier),
Awkward-hanging arms and nervous fingers,
Broken nails and chipped polish,
Wide legs that wouldn’t be so bad, if they were muscle, but no, it’s all fat,
Scarred knees and bug-bitten calves,
Dirty, calloused feet from walking barefoot all the time,
And a girl who just…doesn’t belong.

Look at your photo, sweetheart – what do you see?

Hair that shines from all of the products,
Eyes that sparkle - because photoshop can do anything,
Airbrushed skin, and reddened lips,
One masquerade-smile, just for the camera,
And a girl who only looks beautiful,
When she’s fake.

I :heart: this. When I look in the mirror, I see very much the same thing. But my flaws make me who I am. This is lovely. :D

thank you

i feel like, for most people, i'm very good at seeing past their flaws.

but for myself, it's impossible

.don't be different because everyone else is different. .be different because everyone else is exactly the same.

You're most welcome, again! <3

I feel that same way. I see so much beauty in other people but in myself, I can hardly see any.
