Description
I look into the mirror and see them; my own imperfections staring backThey mock me, they taunt me, those dictators of the mind
As I stand alone, trapped in a vision so endlessly confusing
Exhausted, beaten down by no one other than myself
One criticism equaling a million anchors in my soul
A kind acknowledgment, nothing more than a ghost
My own imagination or reality?
One can do a million things and never achieve perfection
And though this is part of my knowledge, the rest of myself has yet to believe it to be true...

This is something that everyone, especially women can relate to.
I'm one of those males with a lot of female friends and I've seen them struggle with these feelings you're writing about. It's difficult for me to hear them talk like they arent "perfect enough," or "pretty enough" and talk about supposed "flaws" that I really cant see. This is a great piece simply for the honesty and relatability.

thanks so much, I'm glad you liked this. It's true that woman struggle with this and even though guys do too, I think it's sometimes more of an outright problem for girls since they are constantly getting mixed messages from the media. It's really encouraging to hear from guys like you that there is really nothing to be worried about! Ohhh us girls, we're so complicated at times!
