My Reflection

So much potential gone to waste because of fears
My comprehension of what happens disappears
Don’t waste your time on tiny insecurities
So much attention, overwhelmed and I can’t breathe

My reflection looks at me
Tells me that I need to eat
This strange addiction won’t help me
Not that successful, don’t mind me

Got my credentials for something I’ll never be
I get so anxious, just count to 10 and slowly breathe
My paranoia never seems to want to leave
I don’t like people, I'm just awkward and naive

My reflection says to me
You don’t even fit those jeans
Not yet a woman, just a teen
One day I’ll look and be happy
