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.
