i sit on my red, velvety chair in front of my mirror, waiting for the maid to come and prepare me, as per usual.
it's always been like this, always having things done for me.
not even a moment later, she's here to get me all ready to go
"ouch.. that's too tight" i say as she tightens my corset.
"suck it up, you need to look presentable," she says. because it's always like that. i'm not even going anywhere. but there's somehow still a need to be ready.
maybe you should suck it up, atleast you have all this to be greatful for! some people have nothing!
"ow.. you're pulling a bit to tight.." i say as she pulls my hair into a ponytail to braid.
"suck it up, we don't want your hair all over the place, like the homeless villagers."
"okay" is all i can say
keep it to yourself, you don't want to be rude.
"isnt taht too much?" a day as she applies makeup to my face.
"suck it up! we can't have you looking like a tired plump!" she says
suck it up.
it's finally over.
dare i look in the mirror?
do it.
i open my eyes, and take a quick, soft gasp as if i've seen myself for the first time.
this isn't me. this is a doll that little girls and boys play with.
hair all done up, prim and proper.
just like mother likes it
unfortunately, my body needs feeding. so i hesitantly make my way down the large, spiral stairs, still not accustomed to the tight corset around my waist.
as i make my way to the dining room, i see the piles of food worth enough to feed a village, making barely enough room to fit a single plate.
nobody else is in here, just me and the food.
what happened is i don't eat it?
it'll just be left there, ofcourse.
mother and father are already at work. so i
guess i'll just eat myself
wait what's this feeling..?
fat. fat. fat. don't eat, you'll get chubby.
nobody'll love you if you're fat.
nobody will want to date you.
nobody will want to marry you.
your children will be embarrassed of you.
don't eat.
and all of a sudden, i'm not hungry at all.
i try to keep the tears from flowing as i make my way up the stairs again.
i take the time to look at all the paintings hung on the wall.
making my way up was a struggle.
i look at the great grandfather clock beside my bedroom door.
8:36AM. nice. just 14 more hours to go
