Figure
It feels the same, like it will never change, the deep hatred that lives deep within my brain. The voice that tells my body you are too fat, too uneven, too ugly to ever be loved. Two, the number two. I will stay because I will never be first place to anyone or anything, says my brain. The pain comes and goes, and yes, I have tried to focus on self-worth. But nothing seems to change deep within my brain. Everything still feels the same.
About this poem
I don't write poems, I haven't written a poem since high school. Please don't be too hard on me, it isn't my expertise. I'm literally just talking about how I feel about my body and myself.
