“Man legs”
That’s what you used to call me
And when I shaved my legs for the first time I told myself I was doing it for me
But I think a part of me just wanted you to approve of me
I want to see you one more time and show you who I am now
Who I’ve become
But the last time I saw you it was like my stomach was being ripped out of my body and I could feel my spirt breaking
And the tears in my eyes were burning and my heart was racing
I was consumed by anger and all I wanted to do was scream
Because the tings you have said to me have never left my mind
And when I see myself in the mirror
All I can hear is you telling me I’m “a ******* ugly *****
And over time Ive started to believe it
Believe that maybe I am “ugly”and a ****
So I’ll cover my face in makeup and shave my legs
So that maybe one day
I’ll prove you wrong…
