Reflections
Looking,
Daydreaming,
Wondering
About me
Staring,
Lifelessly
Into the glass that looks back
Thoughts coming from everywhere hinting at what I lack
The mental capacity
To stand up for me
The physical shape
To have the guys look my way
The self-esteem
To make me feel good about being me
To speak up and out for me
To make people feel intimidated by me
The braveness of being me
Scared to be seen
So I hide
Hide behind what's easily seen in the look of my eyes
