the mirror

a self affirmation piece that can be taken anyway

 

The mirror is not my friend

It reminds me

                My thighs are too big

                My a*s keeps growing

                My hips aren’t welcoming

                My breasts are too small

                My abs…. let’s not go there

 

Then it strikes

I’m going by standards not mine

                My legs have that curve

                My hands have that warmth

                My ears have that fold

                My hair has that soft shine

                My body is content reality

 

The mirror is not my friend

But shape is not my enemy

                My genes mean this end will be round

                My hips will posses the welcoming curve

    My thighs will always be warm

    My chest is the perfect size for this form

    My body will be a different hour glass

 

The static of perception

Clears to welcomed eyes

                A man won’t dictate my beauty

                A girl’s insecurity won’t control my waist

                Tabloid talk shows won’t choose this ending

 No one grew but I

 No one will decide but I

My thighs are too big

My a*s keep growing
should be changed to
My thighs are too big

My a*s keeps growing

Other than that really cool format and very very encouaging message. It really refects you as a strong person and a level minded person.
I liked it very much
