Inadequacy.
I find it when I look in the mirror.
It constantly slaps me in the face
As the boy I love chooses someone else.
It sits in my stomach like a rock that
won't digest.
I see it in the women I admire.
I notice it when a friend can't even
look at me.
I swallow it when others ask why.
They don't understand.
I'm not built like anyone else.
I am inadequate.
Is there anyone else?
