It's Not Worth It.
November 11, 2013
face,
stomach,
legs,
arms,
Why do we judge?
Why do these parts cause us shame?
Why do we lose to gain?
Lose our appetite, lose our sleep, Our dignity
Try to perfect the perfect
Try to make others love us when they already did
Why do we starve ourselves?
Overexercise our weakened bodies
Count the calories that are barely there
Fight a losing battle of self hate
To transform a gorgeous body into something it should not be
To change our
Face,
Stomach,
Legs,
Arms,
And spirit
It’s not worth it
