《Words I Left Unsaid》Body Dysmorphia
Advertisement
When I look in the mirror,
Why don't I see a beautiful image staring back at me?
Why don't I look like the rest?
Why don't I look like those models on TV?
Perhaps being beautiful isn't what I'm supposed to be.
Why don't my teeth gleam?
Tinted amber, making me want to scream.
Why do I look so tired?
Bags under my eyes, I feel so undesired.
Why does my body hold weight?
I wish I was thinner, but it's clearly not my fate.
Why aren't I tall?
Not gifted with long legs, undeniably small.
Why is my face so round?
I wish it were sculpted, my sadness is profound.
Why aren't I happier?
Overwhelmed with stress, growing snappier.
Why can't I rest?
I just want to be prettier, let me look like the rest.
Let me be someone new,
That's all I want to do,
I don't want to look like her,
Let me change my image and recover.
