Once upon a time there was a skinny kid who had wings to fly, voice that could put angels to shame and feet that befriended rhythm & grace.
Now hopelessness had gripped his soul ,insecurities shackled his feet and numbness embraced his voice.
Why ?
What happened?
Today's society and its unrealistic beauty standards. That's what happened.
Every one is constantly judged based on their appearance rather than their personality or performance.
This short poem is the inner voice of a teen struggling with his skinny-according-to-society body.
Hope you like it.

Love Comes Unexpected ✔
I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears. My heart skipped a beat as he tightened his hold on me. ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ SAMANTHA ROSS Beautiful. Smart. Successful. Kind. Stubborn. That's who she was. But life challenges everyone at some point, right?
