I look at myself in the mirror. My reflection does the same as I. But, is that really me I see?

I grimace at the extra my body seems to hold. Exaggerated thoughts lead to false perceptions. Confused about what true beauty is.

I decided to hate myself. In the mirror shows a healthy glowing girl, but my eyes perceive the opposite.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

This is a poem showing how the same image is being viewed differently. The mirror shows the true you, but you fight with yourself against what you see.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This is nicely articulated but if one has a fairly beautiful face and the body along with lovely traits, there is no harm appreciating it. This will add to his or her self-confidence. Thanks.
