That’s Not How She Sees It

That’s Not How She Sees It

You see beauty;

She sees an ugly reflection.

You see confidence;

She sees insecurities and the fear of not being accepted.

You see a girl that gets all the guys;

She sees years of meaningless relationships.

You see designer clothes;

She sees coupons, sales, and discount stores.

You see a great body;

She sees everything wrong with it.

You see a crowd of people around her;

She sees that same crowd and feels lonely.

You see the perfect life and an image of her that you'd like to be;

She sees you, and feels the same way.

There is a moral to this poem:

No matter how much someone has,

Remember that nobody has everything, or the perfect life!
