In the Mirror
What do I see when I look in the mirror?
I see rolls and rolls of fat.
But everyone else sees a perfect coke-
bottle shape made just right.
I see a stomache that sticks out to far
and breasts that sag to low,
But everyone else sees a flat sensitive
abdomen and breasts just big enough t
o overflow a large man's hand.
I see lips tp big and eyes to small,
They see luscious lips that all envy and
eyes capable of growing twice their
size with wonder.
I ask the body I see why it is made so,
and it tells me that it isn't made wrong or bad. It's
beautiful. It's different. It's perfect. It's what I
wish I saw when I looked in the mirror.
