MIRROR (To my younger self)

I used to stay at home when I was younger
And spend time in bed, my best friend.
I used to hide my hair in a hoodie
And wear long jeans even during summer.
I used to avoid taking pictures with friends,
Afraid of how would I look in the end.
So scared of what people might say
So hateful towards my own-self every other day
I used to change in the bathroom
Instead of doing it in the locker room
In front of everyone else
I was scared.

Oh, I wish I was brave enough
To look into the mirror
And love what I see.
Oh, I wish I could hug my younger self
And tell him he will learn to love
Every scar and every part
That day by day
Everything will be okay.
