Mirror, mirror on the wall
You dare show me this?
Wrinkles by my eyes
Extra curvy hips
No way I'm
This old and plump
I should be sexy
Not a frump
Then he looks my way
In his eyes I see
The fairest in all the land
Is still me

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Oh, I love this!! I related quite a bit. It's a beautiful thing to have someone see us as beautiful inside and out when we tend to get focused on what we perceive as our own flaws!
Aw true love last even when we don’t have that love for ourselves. Anyway love your poem ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎
