Every morning I desire to be thinner,
With a slimmer waist, and longer hair.
I wish my nose was smaller
Skin less oily and more fair.
You catch me frowning at the mirror
Eyebrows crossed and hands on my hips
"You're worrying for no reason, Love"
Smiling as you peck me on the lips
You tell me I that think too much
That I should put the thoughts away.
But you've never called me beautiful
Or said I am perfect just this way.
You've never looked deep in my eyes
To tell me I've a heart so pure
This apprehension that you possess
Makes me unconfident and insecure.
Now I don't pray for less wrinkles
Instead, I hope you see the real me.
I just want to fall in love again
With who I am, not what I could be.
