Why
I look in the mirror,
โโโโโโ ย Why canโt I be skinny ?
I change into something baggy in hopes it will hide my fat.
I look in the mirror,
ย ย Why canโt I be pretty?
I put on makeup in hopes to mask the beast that I call my face.
I look in the mirror,
ย ย Why canโt I be taller?
I put on heels to make me taller.
I look in the mirror,
ย ย Why canโt my teeth beย
ย ย whiter?
I put on bright red lipstick to make the illusion of white teeth.
I look in the mirror,
ย ย Why canโt I be good ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
ย enough?
I lean against my bed.
ย ย Why do I try?
crying I lay in my bed thinking,
ย ย ย ย โIs this worth itโ
However the answer i seek, it just isnโt real.

Ah, the materialistic conditioning of women. How often I have sat in the same place, wanting to be better. It's so hard to feel beautifulย
With love dear poet x
amazing, welcome to cosmofunnel
Itโs not worth it, and the answer you seek isnโt real! Weโve all stood where you stood, I have since puberty and still do!ย
I ask myself the same question every day. I feel you sister! I tell myself everyday that everyone is beautiful. Forget stereotypes, theyโre not natural. Plus bet they canโt write good poetry!!! Fab write, very honest xxxx welcome to Cosmo! Xxโค๏ธ??โโ๏ธ
Natalie...may I use your poem with your credits for my blog....i write a column about women' issues urging women to write in and this would be perfect for self esteem
I gained allot of weight recently and it bothers me deeply on a day to day basis
Sadly I think most people can relate to this, I certainly can! ?
