The mirror is my sworn enemy

I hate it
I wholeheartedly despise it
And, well...
How could it not hate me, too?
Everyone says
“It will be okay,
just give it time”
I just nod and smile
And try to believe it
But
No matter how hard I try,
I never will
Because it will never be “okay”
Not now
Not any time in the future
I will always be in this prison of a body
And pigs will fly before I ever,
Ever
Feel whole again
From the point of view of someone with dysmorphia.
