Pinching thighs
Poking the belly
Pulling your chin
While making disgusted faces.
Finding faults
In every part of your body,
Dimming the hunger
That rings during the lunch hour
And then eating 2 saltine crackers for dinner.
Wearing baggy clothes
To hide your imperfections.
Counting calories
Counting your steps
And painting your mirror black
So you wouldn't see that figure
Made of flaws and nothing else.
~ Things that happen behind closed doors.
