when will it be my turn
when will it be my turn to be loved
when will it be my turn to be told i'm everything to someone
when will it be my turn to feel pretty, otherworldly, stunning
when will it be my turn to not cry at night
when will it be my turn to be loved
when will it be my turn?
Mom
It's getting worse
I hate
the way my tummy rolls when i sit in this chair and how i feel guilty when i eat a whole bag of peeler gummies and when i don't eat because i hate how i look in the mirror

This is a retelling of a short story I wrote in 2023 for a blizzard challenge prompt!
