Beautiful?
Society has millions of images designed to represent beauty
Yet not one of those images are similar to me.
There are thousands of different body shapes and sizes
Maybe that's why I struggle when looking for clothes.
That doesn't mean I'm not beautiful.
Covergirl, Maybelline, lipstick, mascara and eyeliner
Items created to make girls appealing,
I use them to feel good
To boost my confidence, But
That still doesn't mean I'm not beautiful.
At least 10 million girls harming themselves
Physically, mentally, emotionally with eating disorders
Because they fear gaining weight more than they do dying.
No amount of "you're beautiful" or "you look great" changes that.
It still doesn't mean they're not beautiful.
Now
My muscles ache and bones crack
Pounds lost, but I still feel bad.
Not a single similarity to the multiple images of beauty,
Does that mean I'm not beautiful?
