Right in the mirror, i see definitions
My jawline, my hair, my eyes
The carved up sides of my exposed cheeks

To the stretch marks on my body,
i love and hate you
You are my progress and my downfalls
The purples and blue forever turning into pale fair skin

To my eye bags,
you keep me up at night,
but remind me what i'm studying
I'm trying to succeed, to be happy

To the lead stuck in my leg,
you will remind me of my childhood
you will remind me of the days that i worked and played
Tussling on both marble and grass

To the shaking in my palms,
you keep me steady and yet make me fear
You keep me modest and simple
The only thing i wanted

To my chapped lips,
you remind me that i am not taking care of myself
and how i need to improve on my being
You remind me of the words coming out
and the smiles that grow on you

To the speckles on my stomach,
you make me happy
you remind me of the stars
and how one day i may reach them

To my whole body and self,
I love everything about you.
