Flaws

Bodies

By Torri ZimmermanPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Flaws,

that's all I see.

When I look at the reflection in the mirror.

Acne on my face,

Thick thighs,

and a pudgy stomach.

Mocking me everyday.

Acne,

need make-up to cover up so no one can see the imperfections on my face.

Take medication that can harm my kidneys.

Wash face twice a day

Morning

and

Night.

Nothing works, pain for nothing.

Thick thighs,

no short shorts

No skinny jeans.

Scared to wear anything short

Have to keep pulling them down as they ride up.

Feel fat every time I look in the mirror.

Pudgy stomach

sticking out.

No matter what I do,

Exercising, eating healthy, and pills.

It's still there

Reminding me I'm not skinny enough.

But it's

who I am.

Flaws make me unique to the world.

I may not always love them. But it's me.
