Alien

I feel like an alien

disguised in human skin

as if my being was misplaced and everything about me was out of place

Everyday my body feels like it’s decomposing in my own sadness and anger. Drowning slowly till the flesh is raw and my body looks all sour.

I wonder if when I tell people I think I’m ugly they for a second

see the glimpse of what I see

every time I look back in the reflection

do they see her?

Do they see

me?

do they see my imperfections, my faults?

Underneath all the fatty flesh

Can they feel the disgust I feel

That I tuck away

Between obese thighs that touch?

Can they see what I hide?

Can they feel it too?
