My Wretched Self

Contributed by Vampy on Tuesday, 30th July 2002 @ 06:12:39 AM in AEST
Topic: PoemsonBeauty



Looking in the mirror
makes me sick
Every little flaw
stands out to me,
makes me retch.
Fat is everywhere,
my hips are too big
Oh, I wish I were
ten pounds lighter.
I feel like I'm alone
because I'm too ugly,
too fat, just not good enough
for anyone-
but everyone says I'm beautiful,
so that cannot be true.
It's all in my head
When I look in the mirror,
it's just a virtual image,
nothing real.
I'd be bones without
those ten pounds,
I'd be a boy
without those hips,
no fat exists.
It's all an illusion,
my mind needs to clear.
I'm fine this way,
I'm pretty like
they all say.
But tomorrow morning
I'll feel different...
I'll look in the mirror
and once again retch,
feel disgusting.
When will this end?

This was really good. I feel exactly like that, that's why I don't eat. Great emotions in it too. I loved it.
