Shame
Shame
Questioning all my social interactions,
then drinking too much,
have i been a bit embarrassing?
Staring at lines blooming on my face,
and hating on them out
as if they throw me shade,
even though it's just my age,
I've always felt this way,
since I was very little
deep rooted was my shame.
Though I think I weren't to blame,
it's so easy in this day,
to feel so unexceptional
when stunning is standard game.
Love Island and lies
have made me normalise
that it's apparently important
for a gap between my thighs,
that there is a "standard" size
and if I don't comply,
it seems I'm overconfident,
its unattractive to some guys.
Do i care? I'd love to say I don't
but I do, a body's a vessel for your soul
that people will see through,
still i stand half drunk,
awkwardly hoping he heard my name,
feeling the last of dignity
then merging into shame.
