Sophie Watson Poet Blank verse

Gingham Skirt

I'll try my best 

but 

what if 

I don't ever look like those photos 

that you like to repost so much?


I see them

and

my insides 

begin to rot 



and my 

insides 

are all

I've got 



will you see me 

and then

hate me 

for not being so 

flawless 


Will you abandon me?

let the rot

that is inside me 

seethe out?



I think

I want 

to 

decay

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
