My biggest fear
is that eventually,
you will see me
the way
I see
myself.

If only our bodies would marry the beauty growing inside them,
it wouldn't be so exhausting trying to love ourselves.

Happiness is achievable for some,
and unattainable for others.
Stuck in the rolls of society,
following the footsteps of their mothers.
I wish they would break free,
instead of getting smothered.

Her eyelashes act as anchors
sinking them down to her cheeks.
Tiredness devours her body
acting as if she hasn't slept in weeks.
Instead she is engulfed by her inner
turmoil that she can't seem to tweak.
She finds herself lost at sea with
all of her thoughts unable to shriek.
