My body image
disgusting
my reflection
can't bear to see
who i am now
is who i never wanted to be
try doing this, try living like me
trying looking in a mirror
and seeing that awful thing
it's always staring back at me
i never get a break
knowing who i am
being what others hate to see
what i would give
to be anyone else
they don't realize
what they have
but me, i want what i haven't got
too scared to walk the streets
no more insults i can take
compliments, me? never had one
duh! it's me
your sympathy, please no
your money you can keep
those tears you don't have to waste,
please don't, not on me
just realize what you've got
take it firm beneath your grip
never let it go
please, don't turn out like me
people around me are laughing at me
while I'm sitting writing my poem,
who i am now
is the only thing i can be,
exclude me because I'm ugly,
that's ok, i understand
hell, i only have to be me
i never have to see me!
