Dew drops placate
the hungry grass

Sun--breaking night's serenity
leaving us forgetting ebony

Fire bugs breathing
in star luminance

Moon--who prefers to assuage
lovingly dims the Sun's immanent rage

"Love is leverage."

Now I'm left longing.

Mirrors like to lie.
Reflecting a 'girl'.
An image of an old self,
a mannequin.

Opinions,
Knives impaling frail muscles.
Their weight becomes,
Much to cumbersome.

Why must you dissect every blemish upon me?
I am not who I appear to be.
Hereditary nonsense blinds your shallow opinions.

I will not allow myself to be shamed for something I did not create.
My body is deceitful, and vile.
It fools you with the same trickery,
showing you something that means nothing.

They struggle to piece together opinions with so little information.
Two categories.
Ugly.
Beautiful.
Labels easy to bestow, and nearly impossible to remove.

Your poor vision makes you cruel.

Might your eyes see me,
they will not shout,
"BEAUTY!"
birdy Apr 2021
Porcelain eyes,
Shrapnel like tears.
