Beautiful Girl

The beautiful girl looked in the mirror, eyes sunken with disappointment.  She saw her hair, black as night that fell over her shoulders as too ratty, too frizzy.  Her hands came to her smooth fair skinned  but hallowed cheeks that she knew only too well were covered in acne.  Her slim figure, starved for nutrition, was pronounced by her small angular hips. She looked at them with disgust, knowing every roll, every bit of fat, and it killed her.  She looked into the mirror staring at herself with hatred and dissatisfaction.  She was not perfect even though she tried so hard to be.  Her eyes came to stare back at her in all their lovely blues.  As she stared at herself, she saw what she had convinced herself so thoroughly was true.  She was ugly and nothing more.
