I can hear it slicing through my brain,
like a sharp, stray tune of imperfect melody.
It tampers with desolate whimpers
A cry for attention
My contoured skin is peeled away
by those words
"Never will I be,
Pretty."
If I could just cut it off
like excess skin
like layers of flabby fats
If there's a liposuction
for dark thoughts
If I can tuck it
away from my tummy
I'd do it in a heartbeat.
