Through Her Blue Eyes
As she wakes up, to get to school
She sees a girl in the foggy, glass mirror
Wet blonde hair, blue eyes, her dad’s nose, her mom’s features…
But in her mind she sees ugly, plain, average….
People tell her she’s gorgeous, stunning
But she declines the compliments
She gets on the scale
And sees the digits to high
And starts to cry
She assumes people judge her
From childhood mistakes
Her friends tell her she’s skinny
But they don’t see the blob forming
When she sits
She watches celebrities on TV
Skinny, toned, perfect
But none of them have a figure like her
She barley watches what’s on the screen
When she hears a voice
“ God, your so ugly!”
She ignores the voice and go finds her guy friends
They start to pick and criticize her,
But she doesn’t know how to stand up for herself
She tries to brush it off
But inside she’s ashamed
The words of her guy friends keeps coming back
Like an annoying bug
She goes and finds her other friends,
The girls are judging and picking her apart
Saying treacherous, unpleasant words
Feeling lousy, her confidence reaches such a negativity,
She starts to believe everything they’ve said to her
