Rabbit hole

I'm looking in the mirror,

I don't match the picture on the screen,

should I be sad or pleased?

 

One click at a time,

one more scroll,

oops I fell down the rabbit hole.

 

Is that the way out or in?

 

Why are they so much prettier than me?

 

I'll never be that slim,

maybe I'm supposed to figure out how to look pretty from within?

 

So many questions,

another search could help,

and another,

and maybe a click on her profile,

she might know.

 

Wait how did I end up here?

 

Right,

beauty from within,

but her hair looks so perfect,

and her body never looks unfit,

make-up done flawlessly to the point you would never see through it.

 

I can't help but think maybe I was never meant to fit in,

with a body that feels big,

hair that's not as long,

skin that will never be clear like the women I saw,

and a smile that will never blind the eyes of any man who walks by.

 

The mirror looks blurry now,

my screens wet,

time to wipe my tears again for another day that I dread.

  • CONVENIENCE

    I hate that I am only loved when you feel like it,

    like I'm lovable but only when there is nothing better,

    you miss me but you just miss having me as an option,

    you wish I was there but only when nobody else is free. 

  • I want to LIVE

    I want to live,

    I want to hear a million songs and dance in the rain,

    I want to kiss and make love,

    I want to see the world from every angle,

    meet people that I will love and ones I won't,
