My Every Reflection
You might think that the people who are constantly taking photos of themselves,
Are the ones obsessed with their appearances.
And I don’t know,
They might be
I’m not here to guess.
I’m just thinking that it’s awfully brave and all
To save the photos to your camera roll,
Where anyone could see them.
I don’t understand what people say,
What people see.
They say I have a unique face.
And I don’t think there’s much uniqueness in beauty.
I look like a fucking renaissance painting.
Nobody finds those beautiful today.
My face is lopsided, it’s unbalanced, asymmetrical,
Just like me.
I don’t care about how it will affect romance.
Maybe my personality will be the saving grace.
I just want to be pretty.
I don’t want to be lied to anymore.
I don’t want to lie to my own reflection.
Why is it that I look different in every single mirror I see?
Even lighting.
I’m suddenly a different person.
I don’t like this other person.
I want the pretty one back.
