Insecurities suck! I wish I could tell every breathing soul that they are beautiful because every person truly is beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Do you think I'm fat?
I asked
Not anticipating an answer
Rubbing thighs
A dangling tummy
Is all I see
And disappointment is all I could read
Across her weary face
She stared back
You're beautiful
She lied with no shame
Beauty?
I can't see it in you
It's there, but you don't want to see it
Once again, she lied
How could a one-syllable-word hold such power anyways?
The moment it was used in reference to you
She disappeared with silence
Leaving no residue in the mirror
Standing before me.
