            <text>I stare still, facing your cruel reflection,&#13;
Goddess of that false online universe. &#13;
Your shameless smile, your flawless complexion&#13;
Deserving of that heart-shaped love; my curse.&#13;
My humanity fragments your airy frame.&#13;
My blemishes are a wall between us. &#13;
I look at you and feel I lost the game. &#13;
I pass you the crown; self-hate fills my guts. &#13;
But then a ray of reason fills my soul&#13;
Exposing your dull and empty self &#13;
Kissing my perfectly imperfect curls.&#13;
And then, with self-love, I break your royal shelf. &#13;
With a soft stroke, I send you to your grave&#13;
And take my crown back, no longer your slave.&#13;
