Insecurities

April 17, 2021

I saw a young girl standing before me.

I couldn't bear to look at her-

I told her that she was hideous

Her nose was too wide

Her stomach was too soft.

I analyzed every inch of her body.

Her lips were far too thin,

Her legs were far too fat.

She began to cry.

Oh, how ugly she looked when she cried,

I glanced at her one last time

Before I stepped back from the mirror

And let my insecurities win
