Stop picking at your acne

It will get worse


Get your hand away from your back

It's completely scarred from the times

You picked at your acne

And it scabbed


Prominent scars litter

Each and every part of me

My legs

My arms

My back

My chest

My face


Still

No matter how many time I say no

Each time I pose for a picture

I am told


You pose so well

You should be a model


But I have too much fat

Too many scars

Too many things

I need to hide


Stop picking at your acne

You want to be a model right

So stop picking at your acne


But I have never said that I wanted to model

Never mentioned the idea

Of modeling

Never thought of it

Till my mom saw my catwalk

Till she saw my poses


Each time I draw blood

Each time it burns under the water

I smile

Grim


My small rebellion

My way of saying


You will

NEVER

Control me
