No that's not me

This girl is always making mistakes,

Her mistakes are all too costly and  not great,

She always arrives to most places late,

And she's the one most people hate,

 

In a mirror her cold eyes stare at me,

she doesn't blink daring me to look away,

she barely eats what's on her plate,

she loses a lot of weight,

 

The girl thinks she is fat,

the girl thinks she is alone,

the girl constantly looks at her phone,

the girl acts way too grown,

 

When I see that reflection there's only one thing I can think,

That she's not me,

I'd like to get outside and breath some fresh air,

instead of  always being cooped up in here.

 

Seeing that reflection makes me think,

No that isn't me,

I wouldn't stay on the internet all day,

I'd like to just pick up a book and read,

 

The reflection inside that mirror makes me wonder,

how did I get here,

I wouldn't think books are nerdy,

or that i'd rather stay inside when there's so much to do and see,

No that's not me.
