My reflection in the mirror.

Well, hello there.

Did you know you never look directly at yourself in the mirror? Why is that?

When you do you nit pick. You see the things that you think others see, but you know deep down they probably don’t. You can tear yourself a part, but I don’t know why. You know you don’t deserve it, and you know it doesn’t get you anywhere.

You laugh when you fall or when something goes right. You tear it to pieces. Before anyone else can. Before someone else is given the chance to not care, or to be the one who’s pointing the finger at you and making fun. And you think, maybe it won’t hurt as much, maybe you can ease the pain. But that’s never possible, and really, who are you kidding?

It’s much easier to protend like you don’t care or it doesn’t hurt you. You know deep down it does. You know you’re more sensitive than that.

You never look at yourself directly. You become weary easily. You take too long. And you want to cry when you’re in places you feel you don’t belong.

You don’t know where you’re going in life, but you’re starting to settle in with the one you have. It’s become more appealing, and feeling like it’s for the best. Like you thought it would be.

Just keep telling yourself things will be okay, to hang in there. You know you’ll be alright. You know it’ll get better. You know things will turn around for the best. You know.

So look at yourself. Don’t hate you.

Be strong.

:]

Smile.
