This body will never be beautifully at rest I will always have to **** in my stomach to appear graceful I will always have to lift my chin to slim my jawline I will always force my collarbones forward I will always lift my elbows to keep my arms from splaying against my body I will always push my hips back to have that coveted thigh gap I will always wear heels to define my calves I will always cover my skin in paint and color I will always force my hair to lay sweetly covering parts of my face I will always cover the scars I gave myself trying to be beautiful I will always I will always I will always I will never be at rest.

This body.
This body will never be beautifully at rest I will always have to **** in my stomach to appear graceful I will always have to lift my chin to slim my jawline I will always force my collarbones forward I will always lift my elbows to keep my arms from splaying against my body I will always push my hips back to have that coveted thigh gap I will always wear heels to define my calves I will always cover my skin in paint and color I will always force my hair to lay sweetly covering parts of my face I will always cover the scars I gave myself trying to be beautiful I will always I will always I will always I will never be at rest.
