This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Waseda chapter.
I stare back at the glass
while someone looks at me
her eyes stream pass
as I tried my best to flee
I tried to run away
hoping she would be gone
but there she stays
like a person I’ve drawn
I stand still
with an expressionless face
even though I felt ill
from the constant face – to – face
“you will never pretty”
she mutters with disgust
adding a hint of pity
feeling that comment is a must
I felt my heart start to sink
as her words start to hurt
I started to considerably blink
while tears fell on my shirt
“you already know that you are”
she suddenly said
creating another scar
which I started to dread
her black eyes started to gaze
each and every part of my body
“here comes her nightmarish haze”
as I touch the mirror profoundly
