There’s so much wrong with me That it’s frightening The way my hips curve out too far Or how swollen my bottom lip seems There’s so many small things To panic about To fear To prevent To accept There’s so much wrong with me That there are days when I Can’t see what’s right The way my waist tapers in The way my eyes light up When I smile There are days when all that Is hidden from me I’m drowning in disappointment Why can’t I look like she does? I’m weighed down My imperfect body Can barely move under This heavy head Full of reasons Why I’ll never be perfect There are days when all of this Is too much. But there are days When my flaws are merely A feather on my shoulder When my hair cascades just right When my hips aren't big Just lovely When I look in the mirror And all I see is gorgeous Staring back at me When my feet needn't touch The earth For I’m weightless.
