A lump of clay lays before me
Shape it with my abilities
Thorough, reliable, and cooperative
With endless possibilities
A bunch of wax pouring down
I was twelve when I realized that nobody would love me more than me
School, the place where I went to get learn, was where I learned to despise myself.
A Mirror
A reflection of ones self
The lying, deceitful reflection
Oh, how many lies can a mirror hold?
Maybe a mirror is a reflection of one's mind not physical image you say?
I didn’t notice you
at first
and if I did
it was through scrapes
and bug bites
a too tight ponytail
When hearing the phrase
"O Captain, My Captain"
I can only think of one person to
fit this criteria.
Robin Williams is and was
the only person to
accurately portray what it was like
to struggle
dear belly,
i see you
even though i don't want to see you
i know you're there
and i'm so thankful for you
on most days
you are visible
and i see you
without you
never censor the dirty words.
unleash the violet memories of
your violent childhood:
lilac frocks and pomegranite seeds
and leftover boo-boos
because sometimes
daddy couldn't see you
Curvy and husky
who doesn’t love a little meat on those bones
for those who don’t believe me
obviously haven’t tried to have an actual true love
Now I want you to know, here you are always loved
Fat
F-A-T has been used so negatively
I don’t get why we can’ embrace our weight
Society has broken our young minds to
Believe that we have to be perfect
Dear Mama,
Growing up, you poured me a bowl of Perfection
For breakfast every morning.
Perfection had zero calories per cup and tasted delicious.
Dear 13-year-old me,
Here's something to keep in mind.
You're going to spend too many months
Thinking you have worth you have yet to find.
You are more than that tiny number
Showing up on the scale
