Untitled Poem (2015)

I look in the mirror 
I don't like what I see
Too fat, too lumpy
and stretch marks all over me

I know I should be grateful

for the things that I have
but lately I'm been feeling too sad
A smile that is forced
hardly seems true
a laugh that is tainted
I don't know what to do.

I look in the mirror

and I want to rip off my face
because I lack beauty and brains
I'm no scientist. I feel a disgrace.

I'm a disappointment to all that I know

or at least that's how I feel 
I miss my light, and my glow.

I want to scratch at my stretch marks

and the temptation is there
no amount of make up, or clothes
can fix this grotesque stare

Just a blot on this earth who is losing her voice

 And I'm ebbing away without any choice.
