Camoflaunt

I glanced in the mirror and saw an awful sight it haunted me each day and troubled me at night And so I tried to blend in uncomfortable with fear so unhappy with myself that I'd wish to disappear  I soon became invisible seeing nothing when I stared intoxicated in my mind and visually impaired Caught up in the perception of who I should have been when all I really needed was approval from within I countered all the insults created by my brain and found that self-love was stopping all the pain The trouble is that now I've cured much of my self-doubt instead of wearing camouflage I just want to standout
