Insecurity 101!

knock knock
whose there? Insecurity 101!
Insecurity 101 who? Skinny child
and this is her story.....

They told me to eat a little more
shove more food into your system
as if my high metabolism
would all of a sudden be deleted from my being

They say i am invincible
because they work so hard to make me feel unseen
i am literally an opaque screen
because i am indeed unseen

Beauty has its classifications on a screen
and in that footage i would be deemed a queen
because in European Countries skinny is beauty
but in my African home i am just a mistake
a boneless girl with no shape
so would Ed be in love with the shape of me?

My brain is intimating
so they use my skinny to underestimate me
i am components that are not measurable
because I am immeasurable

so yes you made skinny seem like an insult
but i'm learning to love her
so, thanks for the motivation

Knock!Knock!
whose there? insecurity 101!
Insecurity 101! who? None existent
