My Eyes

by Sophia aged 14

No matter if I’m skinny
No matter if I’m pretty
No matter if I’m athletic

I look

I look at my reflection
Anytime I can

And, oh man
all the flaws I see
Why can’t my eyes let me be?

Judging every curve, dip, bump, spot, flake
from top to bottom

I wish I could shake
This feeling
This disgust
This hate
Of my body

I could spend money
to change
But my eyes won’t change

They’ll always find a way
no matter what people say
to make me feel
insecure

about my body
