It only reflects the bad.
And never shows the good.
Only shows my weakness.
But never wants to share the strengths.
Always wanted me to lose what I have.
And gain what I don’t.
Telling me I need to change.
Showing me all that I need to change.
Never being the good friend in telling me I’m beautiful.
Never saying you don’t need to change.
Never giving the satisfaction to people to know they’re beautiful.

The author's comments:
So many people become a victim of thinking that they are fat and not beautiful. I was one, but I have been getting over it. This poem was to tell people that they are beautiful no matter what. Always have confidence and don't let anyone tell you differently.

It was good, had a good voice and meaning. I like how you spoke to the person. I think it was missing something though, I'm not sure exactly but I felt as if there could have been more, like more stuff you could have said.
