As I gaze at my face
in the mirror of your eyes
I don't notice the tiny scar
above my left eyebrow
or the tiny wrinkles forming
around my eyes and mouth
or that my cheeks
are not smooth and perfect.
As I gaze at myself
in the mirror of your eyes
I don't notice my weight
or how my arms hang
slightly bent at the elbow
unable to straighten completely
or that my body doesn't conform
to the Madison Ave gold standard.
As I see myself
in the mirror of your eyes
for just a brief moment
I see myself as you see me
perfect in my imperfection. I wish that I could see myself
as you see me
every moment of every day.
