Skin and Bones, lies of gold

The skinny glitters and the “something” takes hold

They’re not just lies anymore,
They are beliefs that are mine
internalized in roots of my mind
choking out the wild:
Flowers,
Dreams,
Erotic beauty,
Self of self,
Hope,
Sense of adventure,
Trust in mind.

“If you are thin enough you’ll never be alone”.

I wish someone told me, it’s not about your body, it’s about that beautiful soul.

It’s about that settling peace to know you’re enough.

That your mind is more important than the way that you look.
