Mirrors, they are
Calling your name
Like a sea Siren
Wanting your attention
They point out imperfections:
Every scar
Every mark
Every body part
Or maybe they don't
Maybe the mirror is not the enemy
Maybe acceptance is
The biggest contender
Mirrors, they are
Social media
Pictures
Magazine models
Images used to compare yourself to
Why
Compare the amount of ribs
On your torso or
Examine the amount of space
Between your thighs
Why change enhance features
When they were never supposed to be
Like that in the first place
Mirrors are reflections
Reflections are comparisons
Comparisons become insecurities
Insecurities create self loathing
Pointless hatred for yourself
Deciding to see yourself
Your face
Your body
As a friend
Rather than a foe
See yourself
As beautiful
You are beautiful
You are relevant
You are perfect
