From hills to ponds on my frame,
That I have tried to smoothen.
I look on pinterest to find the hidden remedies others have dug.
Working like a slave to my own body trying to make it "better"
"Perfect".
Frustrated with the outcome I caress.
I try the bitter and gut wrenching apple cider,
That climbs up my throat like an insect but I swallow it back to the pits.
Eventually the pits take me too,
I punch my skull telling myself tar like lies.
A movie tape blurs my sight,
Waterworks too.
Perfect is non existent.
Tape measures cannot capture the ideal counts.
Hills to ponds, they are mine.
