I look in the mirror and I don’t see what you see. I wish I could— I just want to be free. Free from this hate, from the voice in my head that calls me things I wish I never said. You say I’m pretty, you say I’m enough, but all I see feels broken and rough. I don’t know how you see me that way, but I wish I could see it just for one day.

pretty or skinny
