At the end of the day,

I wipe off your definition of beauty.

I've erased perfection away.

I've become only who I am.

How I view myself

and how others view me will always be

different.

I don't wake up to please anyone

but myself

because I've been the one

hating

what I've looked like since 4th grade

when I started developing faster than the other girls

and more people started drawing attention to me.

Only then,

did I start to care.

not about what others thought of me,

but how I was

forced

to hide my body.

My body is not your bed

and I

shouldn't

have to be the one to tell you that.

You had come out of a woman,

why disrespect another?
