I've spent a great deal of my life

Feeling less than a shimmer of light

I was always very basic

But I shone just enough, right?

Anything you say can steal my supply

Sadly I'm not all that strong

I'll never have the level of confidence

That I had for so long

I hate what you said

I hate that I care

I hate this stupid imperfection

I hate that it's there

I can't go anywhere anymore

Without my stupid imperfections

Distracting me from my life

And leaving me

Wondering what it's like

To love a reflection

It's been years since you tore me

And I'm only tearing further

Beating myself up more and more

And not bothering to put back together

I know you noticed my imperfection

Does that make you love your reflection?
