Ugly, acne-scarred face,
hair in disarray,
body marked by life.
Never deemed pretty enough.
Cheeks ripe for pinching,
hips full and round,
a pronounced fat butt.
Never seen as slim enough.
Labelled as stupid,
deemed incompetent,
a future painted bleak.
Never considered good enough.
Flawed.
Broken.
Corrupted at my core.
Never enough.
Words venomous and degrading
cut through my soul.
Adorned in slutty clothes,
Face masked by makeup’s art,
Still not pretty enough.
Restricting every bite,
Fading into nothingness,
Still not thin enough.
Pushing beyond limits,
Collapsing from the strain,
Still not good enough.
The ever-obliging good girl,
Pouring her heart out for all,
Still never enough.
ENOUGH!
The mirror cracks,
Its fragments glistening,
The bitch vanishes.
Comforting silence’s embrace
soothes the fiery rage.
Fears and doubts dissolve.
Only unfiltered truth remains.
A heart beating with hope
accepting light and darkness.
Beautiful.
Curvaceous.
Good.
Enough.
