Today to Tomorrow

Today is Monday.

I look at myself in the mirror
I look skinny
I smile to myself

I put on a cute outfit
and go about my day.

Today is Tuesday.

I look at myself once again in the mirror
I look fat.
Why do I look so fat?

I pull and tug at my skin
hoping to somehow make it go away

It doesn't.

I frown to myself
throwing on a sweatshirt
so that the marks are hidden,
from my clawing at my skin,
and leave to go about my day.
