Not Enough
January 5, 2022
I stare at her long and hard
Filled with frustration and disgust
Her hair, not straight enough
Her thighs, not thick enough
Her waist, not skinny enough
Her breasts, not full enough
Her teeth, not white or straight enough
Her face, not pretty enough
She’s just hideous
How could he like her?
It doesn’t make sense
I wanted to punch her
But if I did,
The mirror would shatter
And so would my heart
For thinking such cruel things
