You say I am beautiful
but my mirror says otherwise
In it, I see all of the flaws I dispise
And yet you say I am beautiful.

You say that I am intelligent
but my grades speak as loud as words could
If I could rip my homework limb from limb I would
And yet you say I am intelligent.

You say I am talented
but all I see is ugly black smears
that frustrate me beyond my limit to the point of tears
And yet you say I am talented.

You say I am happy
but you don't see what I hide every day
I know there are people worse off, but I can't see it that way
And yet you say I am happy.

You say I am warm
but I am so cold
shivering and straining under my icy load
And yet you say I am warm.

You say that I have everything
But Do I?
These are Your words not mine.

People make too many assumptions - "You're warm/happy/blessed/etc." they never take the time to know anymore. Enjoyed this.

I wish it wasn't true but it is. Everywhere you look you hear people saying the opposite of what you think. Just remember what you think is right. Only try not to be so hard on yourself. All in all it was a great poem.

Thank you so much for sharing this poem. This is my favorite poem I have read in a long time. I don't even know what to say other than absolutely amazing.

People always say things they know nothing about. They always wish to make you into who you're not. Just like the first comment-er said, people really don't take the time to know you for who you are. All in all, I love it.
