There is no inside/outside
differentiation
I've become what I am
all the way through
Baggage has accumulated
and I drag it in my middle
Too exposed like my sides shaved
Abrupt like my fingers
Short tempered like the
length of my legs
Thick like my pale moon thighs
Stubborn like curves
and soft like lips
I am the product of
my own self
One look at me and
you'll see all you need to
And maybe some I don't
I am my biggest flaw
My darkest outline
The deepest breath I hold
in my chest
Afraid if I continue
I'll continue to be me
I hate what I've become
and I've become what I hate
I've let myself go
I stand begrudgingly in front
of my reflection
and I break a little more
There is no motivation
permanent enough
to fix what I've become
