Step Aside

I’m not the girl that I used be

Why do you look at me like that?
Where is that sparkle in your eyes?
Do you not find me attractive? 
I’m still here 
Right here 
I’m still the same inside
If you can't see that
You might as well step aside

Your poem cuts through the wounds we wear as mementos and asks us to shuck this pain and forge on with life. Emile.
