Modern Narcissism in the Dark
I hate you
she screamed at the mirror
I hate every ounce of you
settling on my love handles
I hate you
she yelled
I hate how you redden my cheeks
with health
I hate you
she clawed at her reflection
I hate how I am not beautiful
the way beautiful is supposed to be
I fu$%ing hate you
as she clenched at her hip bones
I hate how they don't protrude
because that's pretty, right?
I abhor you
as she fell on her knees
wrapping her thighs with both hands
hoping they'd meet, or just touch
I hate you
for harboring calories
in my thighs and belly
I hate you
for making me feel
like an elephant in a room
full of boney barbies
I, don't know anymore
she cried
I am taking it out
at the one thing
that keeps me alive
I just know I hate you
