You're Beautiful
Oren Adam Feb 2021
"You're beautiful"
A stranger so plainly writes
The notification appears so clearly
At top of screen
You pull and stretch your shirt
So as to better hide your body
Stumbling towards the mirror
You prepare yourself for battle
The dysmorphia of your body
So violently attacks your subconscious
Every mirror, camera, reflection in window
So clearly reminds you of ugliness, the
shadow that creeps behind, that you can't escape from
You pick at your body
Squeeze, pinch, and dissect every cell
As you find each and every thing
Wrong
You long for the day where you say
"I'm beautiful"

Fog
Oren Adam Apr 2021
Fog
The misty mind so thinly veiled
Suspends swimming thoughts
Although held so clearly
The opaque exists within the fog
That makes life more difficult to live fully
