Plain

Summary:

Plain
Not ugly,
Yet not pretty
Looking into the mirror,
That’s all she sees

Work Text:

Plain
Not ugly,
Yet not pretty
Looking into the mirror,
That’s all she sees

Her mother tells her she’s pretty,
Yet she doesn’t feel it
She doesn’t hate herself,
But she doesn’t love herself either

Besides, it’s a mother’s job to tell their kids how special they are

Sometimes
She doesn’t even realise she’s looking in the mirror
After looking at plain for so long, she became immune to it

Not even realizing
Just how beautiful
She truly is

She blinks
And realises she’s staring at nothing
Because nothing is all she’ll ever be
Because she’s plain

Notes:

I wrote this two years ago when I was feeling really down (like when I wrote all my other poems). I don't quite feel like I did back then, but I'm not quite to the point of loving myself. Thanks to BTS, I'm starting on the road I never thought I needed or wanted to go down. Y'all are beautiful even when you don't feel like it!

Check out my original story The Aya. It's a fantasy with elves, humans, war, mischievous teenagers, etc. It's really the thing I'm most proud of. I'm in the process of writing chapter 5, so be on the lookout for updates!

I'm on twitter @trial_just. I post updates, pictures, etc for The Aya

Don't forget to Love Yourself!
