Self-Esteem

I look in the mirror, What do I see? A distorted figure looking Back at me... I see all the tissue and I pull on my skin, And reminisced on when I was thin, I see the jiggles and double chin, So in order to hide it, I choose to grin, I don't like what I see, in the mirror Made of glass, I turn to the side and check out my ass.. I suck in my stomach, and push it flat, Oh how I wish it could just stay like that.. I ask my loved ones numerous times In one day, if I've gained weight.. I wish that I could just be confident in My skin... The way others are, whether thick or thin.. I dream of a day when I can look at my reflection, like all that I see, instead of imperfection...
