Hopeful eyes

I don't own a mirror
I don't look in a pond
I don't need to see my imperfections

A list is something I have
From many people telling me
That I need to change

Saying that I don't belong
There is no use for you
They spat

Only to see a girl with hopeful eyes
Turn and run
As they sat and laughed

Maybe I have
Many imperfections
That only make up me

The hour is late
The sun is gone
I have not returned

For fear is in my heart
But also in my mind and soul
I couldn't take it

The girl with hopeful eyes
And many imperfections
Was finally gone

The one that took her place
Had eyes that were hope filled
Not just hopeful
