Chapter Text
As I stare down at the photo in my hands,
I find myself not recognizing the girl in the photo.
I look up into the mirror and stare.
My gaze is hard as I pick apart my features.
Critiquing every imperfection,
Picking myself apart piece by piece.
I still find myself not recognizing her..
Maybe it's because I no longer have the cute baby fat
Or because I’m not short and skinny
I’m taller and chubbier now.
It’s fine.
Maybe one day I'll come to recognize her
