“Do I look like him”
NO! DO I LOOK LIKE THEM?
Do I have my mothers face? Or my fathers?
Did my late brother take my face or did I take my mothers?
Who’s eyes do I have?
Who do I smile like?
Do I laugh like my mother? Or do I walk like my father?
Did I inherit my mothers anger? Do I carry my fathers anxiety or is it the other way around?
Why do I look like this? Who do I look like? Why are my eyebrows thick? Why are my lips two different colors? Why do I have a spot on the right side of my face? WHERE ARE THESE BEAUTY MARKS COMING FROM?
I get invoked with rage when I see girls who mirror their mothers beauty. “Who do you get your looks from”
“I look like my mommy”.
Something so small yet so human, you probably don’t think twice about, is something that kills me every single day
Who do I look like?!
The only desire I have to have children is to know what my face looks like on someone else’s. What do my eyes look like when they are pointed back at me? Are they beautiful? Are they sad? Do they sparkle? That’s selfish right? That’s all I’ve ever wanted though so maybe my daughter will understand.
What I would do to look into my mothers eyes and see they are the same as mine, maybe loving myself would be easier
Maybe I wouldn’t avoid my reflection in the mirror
