How I See It Poem by Brigitt Rodriguez

Why is it that we can find 1,000 positive things about the most undeserving people around us, but we can only find flaws in ourselves...?


I look in the mirror and what do I see?
a pathetic, worthless version of me
I fool everyone with the perfected smile
though people see through it every once in a while

Close my eyes and disappear
At that thought I sometimes tear
It's never enough, what I do
I know you feel the same way too

Suicide? I wouldn't dare
Not that many would even care
You think I say this out of spite
But would you bet my life, on being right?
