Mirror Mirror

I feel and look like s**t lately. I have gained 30 pounds and I cant stand to look at myself in the mirror. This is just a little something *I know its not great* to express how I feel...

“Mirror Mirror”

Mirror mirror who is that beast I see?

The one with two blank eyes that stare right back at me?

What are those pinkish scars along her sides?

The ones that cover her stomach and her thighs?

Who could love that much plump flesh?

Not her, no one I guess.

Oh, how disgusting she must feel.

All she wants is to conceal.

Where is that  beautiful girl?

Now every time I look at her I wanna hurl.

Mirror mirror who is that I see?

Please lie and tell me that is not me…

This poem popped across my screen in the new readers section and I'm glad I gave it a read. When I write something, then days or weeks or even months later, go back to it? It is precisely, as if I'm peering into a mirror, and sometimes I don't recognize myself, or I say: I said that? Or I felt that way? I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you have the power to self reflect, as you have demonstrated in this moving, and honest piece, then You have the power to transform. And I don't mean just physically, but inward, too.
Where it counts the most.

Keep writing, Natassha. It is a powerful / tool

Thank you Diego. I love writing. Lately I hadn't done much of that. I never write poems. I guess I just write down what I'm feeling. You're right. I have gone back and looked at some of my thoughts and can't believe how much I have changed. It is hard to become comfortable in your own skin and thats the message I was trying to get across. I hope to continue growing as a writer. I have a lot to learn. Thank you

I know this is a write....but sometimes writers about about themselves...and most of the time young people are very, very hard on themselves and on how they think others view them. They are usually wrong. Period.

[Natassha]

I agree. I am hard on myself. Not because someone called me ugly things but because I know who I am and how I was. Some days are better than others.

What you are inside is much more significant and long lasting......please know that.
