The Girl I Know
By Ashley O’Hare
Sometimes
I think I know myself
too well.
I know I will never be
a firework
performing for an audience-
captivating everyone effortlessly.
I know I will never be
a celebrity
standing on top of the world
with all I want within reach.
I know I will never be
the girl I want to see
staring back at me
in the bathroom mirror.
How could I expect
anybody else
to find me worthy?
