Heroin Chic

 from 2024



Bubble butt

Thunder thighs

in the era of emaciation

parading as beauty.



My young self

thinking I’m just a brain

travelling in a 5’5” 125lbs

body

still

never recovered from that

special brand of

dysmorphia.



I wish I’d had a chance in this world

to be someone

to make something of myself

instead of having my

self-image,

esteem

skewered

over and over.
