I look into the Mirror

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 ass 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.
