it’s amazing
how often i go to the bathroom,
thinking the thoughts,
“i am ugly”.
but what use is it
to carry these thoughts around each day.
if you can’t change yourself,
change your perception;
at least those are some words of wisdom.
so i’ve written the words,
“i”
“am”
“beautiful”
in red lipstick on the mirror,
with the hope that
some red, smudgy words
remind me
to look through the mirror
with a view that’s clearer,
doing the trick.
and also
hopefully the thoughts,
“i am ugly”
go down the drain
with the makeup that
i wash off of my hands.
“i’m not a woman,
i’m a beautiful woman”,
i learn
to proclaim in the bathroom.
