Overfed

I step on the scale
And feel like I failed
The number is healthy,
But I still hate my belly

My face falls
And I recall
The day my "friend"
Called me "overfed"

I turn to the mirror,
Stepping nearer,
And study my gut
From the side, from...

Everyone's a Mystery

Everyone’s a mystery
All have depth, complexity,
Scars and other injuries
That’s always a guarantee

Becoming reality

I thought we were friends

Adolescence

Adolescence doesn’t make any sense

It’s a time of change
When we start to act strange
