The Silent Catastrophe
Poems
Oct 2015
Failing to see the best in yourself
You feel ready to do anything to fix yourself up
Dieting you tried and ******* in makes it worse
After spending hours on your hair and make up
Angling yourself best self consciously in party photos
Then crying at home when going through them
For a decent Instagram picture; nothing's good enough
It doesn't make sense because you tried right?
Yet your cheeks are balloons inflated on your face
A smile constrained, painfully stretched across your face
You've forgotten how to smile properly so became fake
You look at your beautiful friends and selfishly wish for their assets
Then sigh wistfully posting a few reasonable pictures and smile
At the heart lifting comments on your beauty that fails to be seen*
**Yet it touches you that others can somehow manage to see it in you.
Never trust your negative opinions about yourself instead believe in the beauty others see in you.
