Stardust

The truth is I’m scared to be vulnerable

it’s uncomfortable

pinching my skin between my fingers

the self hate always lingers

I’m frozen in time

when i used to be small

now i take up too much space

at less then 5 feet tall

I’m wider than most my size

i realize

it makes me unworthy in most eyes

including mine

I’ve decided I’m

going to build a time machine

go back in time

to a place where i felt comfortable in my skin

but I’m afraid it doesn’t exist

I’ll just be stardust

forgotten in space

Sad when the writer doesn’t consider herself worthy. The Time Machine, is only a temporary repair. Many people at times consider themselves vulnerable and stardust will always be beautiful.
