Once you learn the epitome of being a model,
you will either compare your perfections or flaws,
despite what you wish you had,
a skinny and petite body,
a healthy and fit body,
being taller,
being shorter,
having a thigh gap,
having no thigh gap,
one should not be immune to practice self-love,
because loving yourself is the best you can do to your body.

It has been far too long,
our relationship has gone wrong,
who in the right mind,
would waste each other’s time,
the ocean splashes,
the volcano erupts,
the boat crashes,
enough of the disrupt,
the days have been rough,
but all I can do is be tough,
I love you too much,
I miss your touch,
can we rewind to the past,
and complement our contrasts,
let us breathe once more,
and reach within one’s core,
mend a heart,
before you go breaking another girl’s heart.

Waking up knowing that the bed is empty,
Serving one meal,
Showering with only the thoughts in my head,
Going to work without a goodbye kiss,
Coming home to see nothing has changed,
Cooking the same food,
Going to sleep and hugging my favorite pillow.
Rinse and repeat.

Perhaps I was never meant to remove this mask of mine.
