hii so I know it’s 2am my time but I wrote a poem because I didn’t want to do my homework.
So I wrote this really quickly and I just want feedback and a title idea maybe.
Here it is:
You pick up the scissors and stand in front of the bathroom mirror.
It is time
Time to assess yourself.
You think of all the times those girls have taunted your hair
So
You
Chop it off
You are reminded of every instance that boy has made fun of your nose
So
You
Chop it off
You remember each occasion that you teacher commented on your clothes
So
You
Chop them off
You recall every time that you have felt bad about your ears
So
You
Chop them off
You take into consideration each occurrence that your father ridiculed your frown
So
You
Chop it off
You put down the scissors, now stained crimson from insecurities, and look back in the mirror.
You are met with a monster
A mangled mess of jokes and insults and fear
Who was created by the standards of appearance that everybody else has held it to.
The standards that it has held itself too, in fear that if broken, it will be nothing
So you look it in the eyes, and tell it that you
Are
Not
Afraid
