Long legs eating tissues
Available since they know she will cry
Full of deceitful friends and still starving
How many carbs to kill a career?

It's only twenty-one, as old as when she started
This dieting shit is becoming quite cathartic
If she won’t have plastic surgery
she might be out of a job by thirty-three

Say you've had enough
We might believe you
Say you've given up 
And we won't let you

she might slip away
But at least she’ll be pretty
Beauty wasn't born to stay
OH WELL!
she’s too bitchy anyways

    Fear of existence

    I go outside –
    I fear the strangers
    staring 
    watching
    judging
    waiting.

    I stay inside –
    I fear my father
    staring
    watching
    judging
    waiting.

    It seems like it will never end.

    Suffocation

    I am the annoying weed that sticks out through the pavement,
    that messes up perfectly paved sidewalks,
    and makes you trip when you are not looking down.
    I am pretty-
    daffodils and dandelions and appealing and funny.
    I am ugly-

    Did you make me not believe? 
    By design?
    By anguish?
    You, the divine creator,
    how could you make me this way?
    Question
    after
    Question.
    And yet you never answer because
    I know
    you do not exist,
