I could own all my ugliness
like I’d
never had to hide,
breaking through,
the dark
silhouette of the moment,
paying for it,
shoe after shoe,
coke bottle,
stitch waist,
nails, highlight
narrow butt,
bubble butt,
cosmetics, glow,
mattifying creams
I almost let the world convince me,
I needed to buy myself
right off the shelf.
after all, it almost seemed right,
kindness sis, Krissy
Wow — hit the target on the world of commercials and the culture-driven inadequacy of women!
