I look within the mirror,

and I see myself,

I see dullness,

I see brown hair, brown eyes, and light beige skin,

I see a square jaw, but a round face,

I see the absence of height, and the extra width of my wide set hips,

I see specks of dirt located across my face, and arms,

Oh wait,

Those are freckles,

I see a chest that sticks out farther than my arms can reach,

and an *** that does the same,

Deep breathes,

In and Out,

Look down,

Look back up,

I see myself once again,

I see how the beautiful pieces of my mother are floating around within me, each separate piece making up my DNA.
