A woman's body
The camara is a fear of mine, I harldly ever take a picture.
For some reason it never reflects the person I see in the mirror.
My skin is darker, my lips are bigger, and it looks like Im obese.
I know those things are beautiful, but those images aint me.
I remember for along time I was afraid to speak,
I was almost mute, worried about what others think.
I learned that when I speak my mind I gain enemies.
Suffocated by my fear, I gave up my right to breath.
So instead of living, I existed.
Instead of being seen, I stay hidden.
And what people see and hear is shadow and a breeze.
Because without a filter and a sensor , thats just me.
Sad right? Thats not who I want to be,
I don't want to care, I don't want to hide a thing.
I want to be natural, But what am I naturally?
A little girl stuck in a woman's body.
