I fuckin love this poem as someone who has body issues. And in general. I'm so sorry you're struggling with your view of you. I'm there too. Your are beautiful no matter who you are. If nothing else, I care too. But thats the minimal. If you're not nice to yourself, it's criminal. I know this from my own experience. You are truly worth so much.

I love how at the beginning it was a little dark and it was a little scary to me maybe because I watched a horror movie this night, although the end made me giggle a little bit. 

I really love the poem.

This is great. 

I love how it being a dream isn't disclosed until later.

You are kind of drawn into the dream.

The end you find out it is a dream but the kicker is.. this dream has scared the person.. they have to pee.. it cannot wait

Love the twist, also love the fact we dont know what will happen when going to the bathroom.. is this dream real? Is she just scared.

It leaves thought for reader and that is awesome

Everything we make, everything we create, everything is inside our head. Yet one needs to pee, doesn't matter what grave, what soft is happening.

haha really connected with the poem - feeling the dark burden of life in the beginning and then sudden stream of humour. haha. the rhyme and meter are also pretty solid going

This poem was great 👍
 the beginning was really serious but the end was really funny.

I look at myself in the mirror.

Though is it really me?

Am I just an unwitting seer,

Gazing into an different reality?


What if I don't even own

That reflection above the sink?

What if it won't leave me alone?

I nervously wonder and think.


I lift a hand as an experiment,

Then raise another, soon.

I make a scowl that nearly sent

Me running out of the room.


I begin to feel rather queasy,

So I hesitate, uncertain.

Something suddenly grabs me!

It was behind the shower curtain!


I wake as I'm about to scream,

And I quickly bound out of my bed.

Despite how things may seem,

It really was inside my head.


At first I feel real lucky,

Then I realize a thing with sorrow:

I badly need to go pee,

And it can't wait 'til tomorrow.
