Mirror

[stray plume]

mirror, mirror,
what must you contain?

is it the dried splatters,
or the ugly stains behind?

i shall not reveal myself
to anybody.

i look in the mirror everyday,
and sometimes i blurt out:

my body is not right.
it doesn't look good enough
to me.

my stomach is bloated,
my face is covered in acne scars,
my thighs are too thick,

my figure. it's littered in scars.

sometimes i blankly stare
at girls on pinterest,

scrolling further,
they all look the same.

thinking, why am i built so differently
than those asian girls?

I met girls with anorexia and it’s so sad from a man’s perspective because almost all girls are beautiful to our eyes

Well said man

I love how this turned out, it's beautiful it speaks raw emotions

Raw enough to feel bad that you're feeling this way

And I bid that yiu shouldn't

You are loved, and that's what matters :3

Reminds me of how bodydismorfia can actually mess up your mind and constantly make you want to yk meet those 'standards'

real, everyone looks the same and sometimes i think about wanting to fit in instead of trying to make my own thing man

[hazy radish]

I went through that phase too and yk you gotta accept ur own features coz you might be chasing smone with curly hair while they'd be dying to get straight hair so it's just us, not appreciating what we truly have

And at the end, it's like, you should be wanting smthg for yourself and not to fit in for the society or frnds whatever it is

And I hope you find your own joy in life :3 I'm very much confident that you can do all thing with a little self care and assurance that you're doing well in life.
