Well what am I if not to be desirable
I stare at my reflection in the mirror And wonder, what I am worth as a person if I am absent of features that so commonly define us
I wonder how much value I have in society if I can not be perceived as someone else’s object of affection
Who am I if not for the fulfillment of others
Who am I if I am not pretty
If I am not smart and charming, but not to smart as to not undermine the obvious superiority of the very people who define me
If I am beautiful and graceful
What is my purpose if it is not to be controlled and valued
Who am I if no one wants me
If I walk through this world with an empty
Not wanting me to be the one they control
Or the one watched carefully
Who am I if not to be desirable
Will I be the smart girl who got into college
The duff who people scorn at
Or will I be the person that is simply ignored
Blending through life free of thoughts and care
What is my worth if it is not defined by how other people see me
Why should I exist if not to be objectified
Should I not think of how my appearance will please people since childhood
Should I not place my value on sacrificial things such as beauty
And yet if these things persevere in the name of truth and honesty
Why am I treated more kindly when I am pretty,
With an absence of weight or a small amount of mascara my life gets better
I am not ignored or sneered at but placed on a pedestal
Enjoying this attention till I am absent of these societal standards does the pedestal come crashing down
Burying
Suffocating
Trapping me in an endless frenzy of pressure and expectations
If it is false that my one and only purpose on this world is to be desired by society why is it the only thing that matters
What am I as a person if not an object to be desired

Feeling dumb over a crush
I think I’m just mad at myself for ever believing he liked me. He did everything a person could to show he liked me, but it didn’t mean anything in the end,...
