It's been quite a while.
I'm sorry for not posting anything these days. I haven't been feeling myself lately.
I don't really like this poem. It makes me feel weak. Vulnerable.
Yet I wanted to post it. Just to upload something new.
Hope you like it and understand what is it about.
Thanks for reading.

In the mirror, I see someone who's lost,
Painting on a smile, but at what cost?
Makeup can't hide the tears in my eyes,
No matter how hard I try.
Lost weight, gained weight, it's all the same,
A constant struggle, a hurtful game.
I look in the mirror, searching for affection,
But all I find is my own reflection.
I hate my body, every inch and part,
A deep dislike that tears at my heart.
I force a smile, but it's just for show,
Inside, a river of sadness continues to flow.
I wish I could love the way I speak,
But my own voice makes me feel weak.
Personality flaws, they haunt my mind,
Leaving self-love so hard to find.
In this lonely mirror, I search for affection,
But find only a reflection of my own rejection.
I long to love the person I see,
But the sad truth is, that person isn't me,
That person feels so distant from me.
