Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Is all i've ever heard.
“Gain some weight”
“eat some more”
now in pictures,
My body is blurred
The subtle but powerful comments thrown at random.
Wishing I had the “perfect” girls fandom.
Perfect not being defined as the persons view on of themselves
but what society tells them to think.
You must look like you could be on the cover of magazines
Or fit perfectly to some fixed minded mans kink.
Be skinny here
But thick there
They cant be small but they cant sag
Small waist
But wide hips
Look impossible
Show off
But not too much or else you are a whore
Don't be too quick to cover up though
Because then to you are boring
The standards covering up your confidence
And your perfect imperfect glow.
Your glow being much more than just
Skin and bones.
