Lies to Myself

Negative thoughts, shortcomings
long have I seen myself
through my own eyes,
lack of physical attraction
has patterned my life
with question marks and whys.
Inadequate you say
if you really only knew
the torture, the agony, the pain
the story,
despite only briefly told,
has always been the same.
Why couldn’t I have had it all
beauty, friends, and personality
oh, how I love to dream,
but somehow
I can’t escape reality.
Now I am looking through the eyes of another,
and I can’t believe
they are all I would dream to be,
and yet
they feel inadequate,
just like me.
Negative thoughts, shortcomings
long have I seen myself
through my own eyes,
lack of physical attraction
has patterned my life
with question marks and whys
and now I know
they have all been lies.
