Literature
Fragile
I'm okay with being
unimpressive
she thought
gripping the folds of too-big sweater,
hanging,
like an extra skin
to compensate for her own,
pulled tight over a collection
of jagged
and angular
features.
I'm okay with being
unimpressive
she said
while yet imagining her hip bones,
jutting,
to be hips
knowing that she would never
achieve the hourglass femininity
that she
always read
about.
I'm okay with being
unimpressive
she lied.
