Flaws

The woman in the mirror is hard to look at.
So many imperfections.
Flaws.
So many corrections to make,
Can’t seem to fix them all.

I feel like I’m going crazy.
Thinking that maybe
If I were different,
Love would be unconditionally given.
I feel like I’m dying
Instead of living.

I try to smile,
But the tears always fall.
I try to be right,
But I’m always wrong.
I try to fit in,
But I don’t belong.

Other people see what’s good in me.
I don’t always see it,
But He never sees it.
Negativity
It’s drowning me.
Suppressing my inner beauty.

I’ve got to dig deep
To find the love trapped within.
I must never look to others
If I’m ever gonna win.
It’s time to look in the mirror
And love the reflection I’m in.
Flaws and all.
