Society's Concoction
September 15, 2017
I looked down at my hands,
my skin bubbling like a
concoction.
I was loosing weight.
The bones on my hands were now visible
and the fat was long gone.
My chubby cheeks,
wide hips,
everything was thinning.
Words of acceptance began to appear
all over my body.
It was that moment I realised;
I'm no longer who I used to be.
I am a creation of society...
