Bad Reflection

Topic:
selfstruggles

I hate the reflection in the mirror,
Of hating my body I am no beginner,
For years I have stood and I have rejected,
The person in front that is looking back reflected.
I cry sometimes when I see what stares back at me,
From self loathing I can never see me breaking free,
I long to love my body and accept what I’ve got,
But acceptance for me is a very long shot.
Why can’t my body be the perfect shape?
Without the aid of an airbrush or tit tape?
I will never be able to love my natural form,
How should women look, what is the norm.
I lay awake fretting about the way I am,
And feel like shutting myself up like a clam,
If only I didn’t feel so ugly inside and out,
My self love is suffering a serious drought.
I accuse my boyfriend of lying when he says I look great,
I go to the mirror and the image inside it I hate,
Hate it with such a passion deep in my heart,
Hating myself has become a true art.

Hi, I thought you did a wonderful job expressing what so many teenagers feel. I'm one of them. I've never been happy with my body, and all of the things that you said in your poem are so true. I understand how you feel. Well I guess I just wanted to say good write, and if you ever wanna talk..I'm here
