A Nobody
When I look in the mirror, I see 3 people.
Me, Myself and I.
I see Me, a person no one ever notices.
I see I, who pretends to not care.
I see myself, somebody who so desperately wants to be someone,
to have an identity.
I see a human that is nothing similar to me.
You ask me if loving my reflection is possible.
But how can I love my reflection
when all I see is nothing?
Reflection
I look into the glass
And I see her staring back
Her eyes too big-
Her face too round
I look down through the glass
I see her body
With flabby arms
And a stomach that bulges
I look back into her eyes in the glass
Her sad, sad eyes
And wonder if I could ever love her
If I could love my reflection
i'm not sure
if i can ever love
the person looking back at me
but i'll try,
at least for a second
hazelish-green eyes
that water so often now
that i wonder
if i'm ever not ready
to cry
dyed-red hair
to mask the things i didn't like
cut in layers and ready
to run at the first sign
of anxiety
a smile that
used to light my face
but now the frowning,
unsure, wavering lines
of anxiety chase it away
hands that shake
every time i'm nervous
hands that are ice-cold
with worry and fright
hands that don't quite warm up right
a body that curves
"in all the right places"
but makes me uncomfortable
every time i'm made
to acknowledge it
there's a lot of me
there's some i hate
some i don't really like
not much i take care of;
been so busy thinking about everyone else
i'm not sure
if i can ever love
the person looking back at me
but i've tried,
at least for a second
