Your reflection cracks the mirror
Makeup unevenly paints your face
Your hair sticks out in every direction
Like it can’t make up its mind

Your eyes are dark pools of mud
Swirling around everything in sight
Your skin is as pale as toilet paper
Like you’ve never seen the sun

Your voice is atrocious
A bad song playing over and over
Your stomach is pudgy
And you fully know it

But the way you close your eyes
When you flash a huge smile
The way your laugh echoes
Throughout a crowded room

The way your freckles dot your face
In uneven patterns
Your kindness, knowing no limits
Almost counting as ignorance

The way you make my day brighter
Just by being at my side
The way you look at me
Like I deserve the world when I don’t

Makes my heart skip a beat
