What I See
I Look into the mirror
and try to see what others see

My face decorated
with angel kisses
brought out and darkened
by hours of sun

My hazel green eyes
sometimes change to blue
My nose squishy
often compared to a button

My lips full
hiding white teeth
Perfected by braces
years before

My golden brown hair
excentuated by blonde
I sweep it back
just to have it fall into place

My dimple carved
into my left cheek
hidden until
my smile escapes

But there is more to me
more behind the hair
and the dimple

Each freckle represents
a mistake I've made
My tan skin
hides my fears

My sometimes blue eyes
are lit with intent
My nose my distraction
When I'm at lost for words

My red lips
disguse my seduction
The two front teeth
a cover for the cavities behind

My less then perfect hair
covers my falling tears
My dimple shares a smile
That isn't real
