Anxiety


Why are you staring?

Does my body hair offend you?

Are you scared by my lack of makeup?

Tell me, am I not good enough?

 

Why are you staring?

Is it because a fat girl is wearing cutoffs?

Maybe it's because you noticed my scars

Are you here to insult me?

 

Why are you staring?

Is it because you're here to "help"? 

I know you don't care

Please, leave me be.
