I look in the mirror everyday 

I look

At the height

At the weight

At the curves


I go outside and I look


I compare

I observe


She’s so much prettier than me


Wow they’re so cool


I wish I had hair like that


I’m just not enough-


WAIT A MINUTE!

Is this what we’re about!?


I thought we were:

Calm

Kind

Cool

Confident!

 

So I look in the mirror everyday


I look

I look at the smile

The hair

The curves!


I look at my beauty!

I stare down my imperfections

And my impurities

It makes me, me!


So remember to be:

Strong!

Smart!

Independent

And most of all be:


Beautiful as you are!
