Beauty deficient

Form unlovely

By AllGo - An App For Plus Size People on Unsplash

Prodigious girth

Increasing furrows

Colossal forepart

Protruding on features

Dwarfish stature

Dreary, unsightly tresses

Globe, spare tire

Repugnant, rotund

Inherently unsexy

Unrequested, untouched

By Carol Magalhães on Unsplash

Mon amour

Marveling at Venus's

Lean

Delightful

Eye pleasing

He envisions copulating

A more pleasurable encounter

Pictorially ravishing

I’ve become microscopic

By Javier Esteban on Unsplash

As I observe my pungent silhouette

I notice it leaves something to be desired

A mere glance of me, not rousing exploration

Not like them

By Damir Spanic on Unsplash

Creates a mystification

Puzzlement of our union

Justify the purpose of our matrimonies

Supposing thee nay your desires

Intimate-less nuptials

Fancy you will stray

Fulfill the deep biological urge

I am unable to attain

For I will forever be homely

By Alexander Krivitskiy on Unsplash
