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
