Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder about what others see.

Because when I look in the mirror, all I see is a girl.

Nothing incredibly deep, nothing incredibly pretty, nothing incredible really.

Sometimes, when I look at what I wear, I wonder what others feel.

Because when I look at what I wear, I feel like I look okay.

Nothing extremely crazy, nothing extremely weird, nothing extreme at all.

Sometimes, when I think about myself. I wonder what others think about me.

Because when I think about me, I think about all the possibilities that I could have been.

Nothing too bad, nothing too good, nothing, truly.

And sometimes, when I lay down and close my eyes, I stop doing all of that.

Because, I remember that it doesn't quite matter what others think of me. It doesn't matter what negatives I put on myself either.

Sometimes, I just have to remember to let go.

Labels and mean words will wash off someday. Maybe not tomorrow or even today.

Sometimes, we can forget that.

But only remember, it's sometimes.
