i am sick,
and i am tired.
when you wake up first thing
as the sun rises, do you fear what you see in the mirror on your way to the
bathroom?
do you find yourself reaching for the tube of face scrub and minutes later looking down on your red blotched hands
and your even redder face in the
reflection of your tap?
and maybe you feel slightly better
once you slide on the soft silk dress
and your hundred dollar lipstick
but once you're out in the streets
in the mercy of unforgiving,
relentless eyes,
basing their intentions
on the lack of scars on your face
and the distance inbetween your hips,
are you then reminded that
no matter how hard you try
they will always choose
someone else
before
you.
