Beauty Standards

I want to say that I am the fairest of them all
but looking at the mirror I see me as a loser

They said to have self-love in my heart
but looking at the mirror how could I love this loser

But then I realize it is just beauty standards
making me want to be perfect in the mirror

No one told me I was perfect
instead all that came was advice for improvement

Then started the self harm killing me 
because I couldn't meet these beauty standards
