The Life of an Average Teenage Girl

Location

Insecurity

An unnerving bug

slithers under my skin

and conquers the brain

 

Insecurtiy 

Taunts sizes above 0

Causes the stomach to rumble

while eyes avert cupcakes and candy bars

 

Insecurity 

Pimples concealed with foundation

Eyes covered in black glob

A mask to obscure reality 

 

Insecurity

Blonde hair, straight hair, perfect hair

Anything but..

My hair

 

Insecurity

Is the change

I wish to relinquish in me
