When i look in the mirror <br />All i see is what i most hate <br />I know I'm not perfect <br />I know I'm not a size zero <br />I don't need every person <br />Telling me what I'm not <br />I know all this and so much more <br />I wish it was all a lie <br />And i could look like a Barbie doll <br />That blonde pretty skinny girl <br />Is who i should hate <br />Not myself <br />For inside I know I'm the prettiest of all <br />But even though I know this <br />Sometimes that thought crosses my mind <br />That horrible deadly thought <br />Of doing what i should not <br />I hope i never do it <br />For than i could never turn back <br />Stuck in a world <br />Where beauty is everything <br />Mind comes last <br />And body comes first <br />I need to stay strong <br />Ignore what people say <br />Look in the mirror <br />And know I'm beautiful <br />No matter what they say<br /><br />Damaris Paz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/perfect-62/
