i have grown to love to look in the mirror.
because in four years (the remainder from seven)
i'll have a body that they have never
laid eyes on a cell of.

i am 5'2" and 160 pounds, but nobody
ever believes me. and everybody is so scared
to talk about their weight, so at least it never
comes up. my hair is cut short, and i have stopped
hiding behind it. i am confident.
confident with conditions.
as long as my shirt doesn't cling to my chest
as long as i have a jacket covering my arms
as long as i don't smile with teeth on accident
as long as you don't look at me too long
as long as my legs never see the sun
i am confident.
and eventually, i will be
unconditional.
i wrote this a while ago for god knows what reason, and it's been sitting in my sta.sh for an eternity

i fixed it up, and i think i like it.
