Worry
Worry is a strange word
people see worry in different ways
ways no one can see
To me worry is a feeling
a feeling I get when I feel lost
incomplete.
Scared is just like worry
Im scared that if I’m not
not what society want
then no one wants me
I get scared that if I'm not tiny enough
enough for someone to pick me up like nothing
people will leave me high and dry
if I don’t have a thigh gap I wont get a second glance
no cares
Society shouldn't have a say
but it does
thats what us girls get told
you have to be like this
Well what if I don’t no one will care
is that how we want to live our lives
controlled by this thing
but then I remember
to be what people want you have to listen
for those bullies to stop you need to change
people say bullies just lies
say things to drag you down to there level
no its not
what they say is the truth
you can live your life saying its all a lie but look in a mirror
its what they told me
they told me I’m fat
ugly
worthless
a waste of space
no one will ever love me
lesbian
anorexic
slut
stupid
freak
weird
get hit by a bus
annoying
look at me now
I’m not any of those
as many times as I wanted to give up
let them win
I remembered I'm strong
I’m going to get better
this will stop
but what wont stop is my
worry.
