I hate the reflection on the surface of the water
I feel so bad whenever I see it
"she is ugly"
I begin to see it
I hate the girl in the mirror
"she is so thin" I see it
I feel like smashing the mirror because
I'm the object whose image has been reflected
whenever I see these images ,their 'words'
continuously echo in my head
it pierces my heart and sinks down to my soul
not long after it has sunk, another voice
speaks into my ears, he reminds me of
what is written in the greatest book,
I quickly take a second look at the image,
I see how beautiful my face is,
I see how flawless my body is
the first voice eventually diminishes
I smile to myself,
indeed, I'm fearfully and wonderfully made,
I'm the image of God.
