We are our own worst enemies
Everybody is a critic

You never loved your body and would cover the mirror anytime you saw it
It was never good enough for you and felt for others also
You told me how disgusting you were, how overweight and sunken your faced looked.
Told me how ugly you were and how your legs werent worth looking at
Until the day I first saw you I had no evidence to argue, but then I did see you...
...and you blew my mind
You were drop dead gorgeous in my eyes, the way your eyes shyly looked at me and the corners of your mouth creeped upward.

One day I saw you in nothing and my heart did it race
You were always beautiful, never once not, morning or night
But in nothing your body was perfect, your shape, and just every bit of you from head to toe I loved

Yet no matter what I said...you rejected the idea and refused to believe you were...
You couldnt see what I saw or feel what I felt...and it sunk my heart to see you view yourself so negatively

My perfect imperfection

I saw beauty in you where youd never felt like acknowledging, and the day I saw...there...you knew I wouldnt love you the same...but I did
I told you I loved you unconditionally and I thought you were perfect and you smiled
I thought id planted the seeds inside yourself to finally love you for you...

...guess I was wrong...
The mirror was covered this morning...
Where have I gone wrong...?
