how others may see me
June 1, 2021
I watch myself dance,
and I don’t see elegance
All the other girls are better than me
and they must be judging my movements
Is this my imaginary audience,
or reality?
A thought crosses my mind
What if I lack elegance
because I'm too skinny?
It seems true.
All the other girls have fat on their bodies except me
If only I ate more,
perhaps I would look better
But I don’t want to eat my feelings
Do I hide from this truth?
The truth that says I move mysteriously,
due to my body?
Or do I ignore it?
Although,
maybe it doesn't mater how I look
just how I feel.
