I've never struggled with body dysmorphia, anorexia, or bulimia and I can't imagine how difficult it is to live with that. I tried to write from that perspective in this poem. ❤︎ 🍃
WARNING: themes of past suicidal thoughts
A poem inspired by a song and my own experiences
A deep reflection on body dysmorphia and learning to accept you for what you are instead of changing to fit in
Is it possible to love yourself, when your reflection is what you fear the most?
Beauty will always come from within, but some days, all your flaws are put on a platter. Picking at every tiny detail until you're left with a fragment of yourself.
A poem about body dysmorphia, please do not read if it could trigger you
It feels like a crime. When I see my reflection in the mirror, I'm plunged underwater, as if a wave had just crashed over me. I'm so overwhelmed by the shouting in my head that I close my eyes.
