Insecurities

 
 
I am not the model for the gram
Or spokesperson "size 2 I am"
However, I’m a woman
Worldly misplaced
Disqualifications that lie within my waist
Because I lack discipline in taste
Good Lord..
Why didn’t you bless me with a “good” shape?
Scrutinized
For the lack of slant within both eyes
Chastised
For not being the “right” size
Criticized
Because I’m cursed with more love between these thighs...
Sighs...
....But I’m a woman
Fruitfully flawed and picked apart
Societal’s canvas
Yet, I’m not art
Scratched at the surface
And never met at the heart
Insecurely fed
Confidently starved...
