Things I Wish Someone Had Told Teenage Me
She was a weirdo btw.
First off,
I wish someone had told me
Your eyebrows are terrible
Your natural ones
While slightly bushman like
Are luscious
And unique
Save yourself the time and energy
And leave them the fuck alone
....
Well except that unibrow
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Frida Kahlo?
I wish someone had told me
That I am not ugly
Because I have acne
I wish they had called me beautiful or cute
Instead of pizza face
I wish someone had told me
That thinking a girl’s pretty
And that the butterflies I can feel
Flying around my stomach
Like kamikaze pilots
Whenever I talk to her
Or see her across the foyer
Is not wrong
Is not something I should feel ashamed about
That I do not have to rationalize
Or analyze my feelings
Because there’s nothing wrong with them
Which means
There’s nothing wrong with me.
I wish someone had told me
That while the darkness I feel inside me
Will never go away completely
I will have days
Where I feel genuine happiness
Radiating from my chest
And I won’t be worrying about
What others think about me
About the Creator
