To see the wrong person in the mirror  

The most painful reminder of a mistake

Made by a blind fool.

My clay was misshapen 

 

Maybe they added too much water

Or they may have not have rubbed the right shape

Who knows.

I won't

But.

 

I know 

With a little help

A little bit of a push from a blade

I can slowly make my way.

One step at a time

 

To that angel i saw in the mirror once.

Maybe one day i can finally be

 

Her. 

 

Me

This is such a moving piece. You help someone like me, who does not have dysphoria, begin to understand what it might be like. That stark image of seeing the wrong person in the mirror - such a vivid evocation of bewilderment and sadness. The courage of your last few lines is amazing. I hope you will get there.
