He believes I am good.

He sees an angel when he looks at me.

One of us is wrong.

Because when I look in the mirror,
I see a darkness.

I see everything I have ever done wrong,
I see everyone who had decided I wasn't good enough.
I see ugly.
I see every demon I have hidden away from view.

He does not see my mind.

He only sees what he knows of me now, what I have chosen for him to see.

He does not know anything.

But if I am to look through the eyes of an outsider.

One of us has to be wrong.

Either I am an angel or a darkness.

Is my view of myself distorted from years of abuse and neglect or am I able to know who I am because I listen to the mind of this person I live inside.

Could I really be who he says me to be?
Could I really be beautiful and I just don't see it?

Am I the deceived?

Or am I the deceiver.
