"Perfect" Body
This shows how women all strive for a "perfect" body. Even me.
They say I want a body like hers.
But how can you say you wish you had that body type when they probably say that about someone else?
Friends talk to me about their body struggles and say they're fat when to me they're not. It's just these dumb beauty standards society has placed on women which has us all fucked up and wanting more.
They say my body is perfect.
But deep down no one sees that I struggle.
How can my body be "perfect" when I'm underweight? How can my body be "perfect" when I have others calling me a stick? How can my body be "perfect" when I just don't see it?
How can it just be when I wish my body was like hers.
And society has all these people commenting on our bodies as if they own us and can tell us what we're supposed to look like.
People, even friends joke saying, you're a stick, you have no boobs or ass, but that shit sticks with you.
Those thoughts start to flood your brain and you become even more insecure than you were before.
I didn't even know I had all these insecurities, but in the end, we all do. Even the girl you strive to look like.
