And What Do I See?

I look in the Mirror,
And what do I see?
A round pale freckle face,
Dark ocean blue eyes,
Surrounded by black eyeliner.
Dark brown eye browls,
My black hair pulled into a pony tail,
My bangs cover half my face.
My nose a bit long for my taste.
Why do I look like this?
My curvey body about 5'2.- I'm short -
I close my eyes and try to picture myself as another person.
But no matter how much I hope, pray, want,
I'll never be able to leave this is cursed body.

I look in the Mirror,
And what do I see?
I see a girl,
Hazardous to herself.
A lost girl,
A hurting girl,
A misunderstood girl.
A single black tear escapes my right eye.
The girl and I understand each other.

I look in the Mirror,
And what do I see?
I see a girl who is learning to make the best of herself.
I see a girl who is expecting herself.
I take a deep breath,
And realize,
Maybe, I'm not so bad?

I look in the Mirror,
And what do I see?
I see a girl fighting her way back to reality.
