Beauty Standards
Oh my god she's so fat,
her stomach has rolls.
And her thighs shake when she walks,
unbelievable that,
someone would comment on someone's folds.
“Her double chin is visible when she talks.”
Eating in front of someone and pray,
pray that they don't judge me
"she probably eats too much" they say
people pass comments as though therapy is free
people judge too fast
only caring about the outside
what people say actually hurts on the inside
and the good moments never last
insecurities overwhelm us
acting like we're fine
and the second we make a fuss
we should "learn to take a joke"
what a stupid hoax
crossing lines
by commenting on others bodies?
no, and I'm not sorry.
