Dysmorphia (12/23/2019)

The mirror mocks my every move

Every lump I try to smooth

The mirror cons me of my happiness

Knot in my throat, stuck like this

 

Dysmorphia

 

I feel the corners of my mouth

Like they're tied to the ground

I try to fix it, try to heal

I try to replace it, the shame I feel

 

Dysmorphia

 

Feeling visceral

Indescribable

If only I could find

Something comparable

 

Dysmorphia
