Autobiographical Poem
April 10, 2024
Myself
I look at myself in the mirror
My thighs are too big,
My waist isnt small enough, my stomach is bloated.
My eyes are different sizes
And my hair does what she wants.
I have so many flaws
Too many.
But this body is home,
My childhood is buried here,
My sleep rises and sets inside
Desire
Crested and wore itself thin
Between these bones
I live here.
I breathe here
I laugh here
I cry here
I look at my younger self
So happy and careless
I would never say the things to her
That i say to myself now
I often wonder what it would be like
If I could hug her.

This is a very deep and personal poem. I talk about numerous insecurities that I struggle with as a teenage girl.
