It's Just the Mirror

It's just the mirror 

Something I tell myself often

It’s just the mirror 

Making my body look so small 

It’s just the mirror 

that makes me put my head down 


But when I look down

I see everything how I want to see it 

Normal-sized legs and a flat stomach

That’s how I want to see it 

But looking in the mirror 

All I see is my ribcage and small stick legs 


So I continue to tell myself 

It’s just the mirror

I wrote this to talk about one thing I go through often, I'm just hoping that other people can relate to me. If they do, I want them to know they're not alone.
