Facial Error
What am I? Her mind wonders when she looks at herself in the mirror accounting on why God created her this way. She looks at her reflection and all she can see is pain inside of her.
Her mind left confused when people never notice that she is around. She stands there waiting to be noticed, she stands there waiting to be approved by everyone around her.
Her mind shifts away when they start calling her names when they start expressing how ugly she is. She stands there thoughtless and unwanted by everyone. She has rejected herself.
She looks into her soul and all she can see is hurt. She reaches for her heart only to find out that they’ve broken her heart into little pieces.
She looks at her naked face trying to understand why she is different.
What am I? She asks herself trying understand why her mother tells her she is beautiful but yet other people are saying the complete opposite.
