anything but

Contributed by ml03 on Sunday, 15th February 2004 @ 02:36:56 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

look in the mirror
hear your words
they play
over and over
like a broken record
how could you love me

i look hard
i look deep
to try and see
what you see
but
every flaw
sticks out

is it just me
or can we never achieve
the beauty
the perfection we see in the magazines
constanly
compared to the cover boy
you think i should model
all you boiz wit your foolish words
tellin' me i look
like i fell off one of those covers

but days
like this
i don't see it
don't hate
what i am
accept it
and move on

come to you
you make and break
my confidence
my self-assurance
my acceptence
my self- love
wit whatever you say

you see a beauty
i see a flawed slab of clay
god quit moldin'
when he got bored
and through it
to the side

i see
a french nose
full of chacater
grace and personality
fittin' of who i am
just way to big

i see
messed up teeth
throwin'
off a jaw line
ruin' my facial structure

i see
lips thin as paper
even though you love them
so much
i hate em

i see
a gut
that really doesn't exist
suck it in
and slowly
exhale
until i see
the stomach i want

but then i turn around
and laugh
b/c the one thing
i used to hate
more than anything
my ass
i now won't change
even though
before i was goin to
have it altered
the male response to it
the utter
almost worshippin' of it
has made me change my mind
and luv it
luv it
more than anything

so
i see
flaw
after flaw
the longer
i look
the more flaws i see
but
for some reason
you love it all
you think i'm a picture
of perfection
wit a body to kill
dangerous poision
to a mans heart

i guess
it could all be true
but
i don't think
i'll ever see
or realize
what the big fuss
is about

i feel pretty
i feel beautiful
i feel ugly
i feel skinny
i feel fat
i feel tall
i feel short
i feel anything but
perfect

Gah. I was going to write one on this subject but you beat me to it, lol..."We can't forever hide the truth about ourselves from ourselves." The mirror knows that. It speaks in volumes without ever saying a word. Beautiful write, you've done the mirror justice.
