“Love and Hate”
By Ashley O’Hare
My friends hated my hair-
too short,
too long,
too light–
all wrong.
My ex hated my face-
too young,
too dull,
too ugly-
never flattering in photos.
My peers despised my hobbies-
dumb nerd,
loner.
But the girl in the mirror-
she liked me.
She flicked the devil off her shoulder-
who am I to ignore her?
