I Say Yes, You Say No

i look at you and think
'so much better then me'
i look at me and think
'what i wouldn't do to look like you'
your skinny, toned, in control, beautiful
i'm fat, chubby, uncontrollable, ugly
i wish to smash the mirror
in pain
i look back at myself
with my big nose, ghostly complection,
pot belly stomach, way to big love handles,
flabby theighs, and weak arms
i say ugly
you say not
but you don't know
you can't see
i see it all
everytime i change, shower
and look in the mirror
so you don't know
you definatly can't see
i do know and i do see
