reality check
i look in the mirror
but i don’t see me
i see a clearer version
of someone people want me to be
i view them as fake
while im the one trying to take
their son by
dressing different
acting different
just so i can be liked
while, in reality—
do i even like myself?
if i’m doing all this
just to get a goodnight kiss
is my soulmate truly in me
do i need to love myself first?
do i need a reality check.
