Messy Completion

I was sitting in class the other day
staring at my reflection on my phone screen
I had this thought
what if I wasn't me
what if I was someone else
in this dumb world
and what if I saw myself
maybe walking down the street
in the mall
in school
it doesn't matter
but would I think
that person's ugly
or I would I want to compliment them
if I saw myself in public
if I was someone else
I would call that person beautiful
so why can't I do that now
why am I ugly because I'm me
but if I was someone else I'd be pretty
maybe I've been wrong all along
but why can I only see a mess in the reflection
why can't I see myself how I see other people
why does my completion have to be affected
by the brain that fills my head
why can't I think I'm pretty for once

Author's Note
I wrote this a while ago, yet still feel the same. I sometimes wonder how many more there are, how many completions are messy? I wonder why we can't see ourselves how those around us do.
