dreadful mirror
Tw: body dysmorphia
"Oh my goodness your gorgeous" they say/I wonder who they are seeing/it cannot be me/I only see my too big nose/uneven eyes/too small but too big lips
I see the small rolls my stomach has/call myself 'fat'/look at my frame, eat more, eat less/call myself too skinny/too weak
I look at my smile and think it weird/when I look in the mirror I see an ugly girl/when I see my photos I cringe
convince myself its all true/i'm my biggest critic/the issue/the one who feels lied to/she only denies the truth
I can't accept a compliment/what's wrong with me/They say she's so pretty/but I only see the fault within me
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
