The Fear of Me
I look in the mirror
Seeing the sad imperfection
Seeing me
Seeing the acne on my skin
Seeing my nose that seems too big
Seeing my lips that can be bigger
Seeing my eyelashes that can be longer
Seeing my cheeks that seems too flat or too chubby
Seeing my eyes that doesn't have a special color
Seeing my eyebrows that are considered not on “fleek”
Seeing my forehead that is so huge
Seeing that I have no cheekbones
Seeing I have nothing
Seeing I am nothing
Seeing everything I’m not
Not seeing everything I am
Not seeing the special and unique person I am
Not seeing the acne will eventually go away
Not seeing that I have a nose to breath in oxygen to live
Not seeing I have lips to speak my mind, to say all my brilliant ideas
Not seeing that I HAVE eyelashes
Not seeing my cheeks are perfect for my face
Not seeing I have eyes to seeing the beautiful forest, outstanding oceans or an extraordinary view
Not seeing that I have unique eyebrows
Not seeing that my forehead is a exactly the way it should to be
Not seeing that I have cheekbones to hold up my cheeks
Not seeing I’m someone
Someone important
Someone extraordinary
Someone that will make a difference
Someone that already got first place
Not seeing that in somebody's else's eyes I am perfect in every way
Society might see everything that I’m not but that’s not going to stop me
I’m going to be me
I’m not going to be the person they see
I will be the person they can not see
I am special and unique
Stand in front of everyone who doubted me
Make the people proud that they never doubted me
Because I am the person nobody sees
