ENOUGH

TW//ED.

I run my hand through my face

Can I still feel my bone structure? 

I wrap my hand around my wrist 

Is it small enough? 

I slide my hand across my chest 

Can I still feel my collar bones? 

I run my hand down my spine

Can I feel it enough?

I look in the mirror I say 

Do I look sick enough? 

I skip a meal, I ask 

Will I be thin enough? 

When I put food in my mouth, I ask

Did I work-out hard enough?

I write in my journal and ask 

Am I enough? 

Do I look enough? 

Self-worth reflects off what my body looks like 

I’ll never be enough 

Point is, your body isn’t who you are 

Your body is your clothes to what you really are 

Your self worth isn’t defined by how you look 

Self-worth doesn’t even have a book 

There is no guide or manual to say: 

This is how you’re supposed to look

Your body is defined by you 

And your shaming is only done by YOU

Letting others have the power to define you

When you have the power to refine you 

Next time, ask… 

Are they enough? 

Next time reflect… 

What is enough? 

To tell yourself that your body is the only way that’ll allow you to have what you think it is you deserve is bullshit you need to unlearn 

You are more than just your body, you are no body 

You are the clothed soul who needs to protect their body 

But isn’t defined by nobody 

Protect yourself because at the end, you will be nobody 

Just a soul, left with their goals, that have nothing to do with anybody.

A few days ago I saw a news report on the rise of suicide in teenage girls. All because they were being bullied for their weight or their looks online. As a society this is shameful and reflects ill of how we treat our children as well as lack of parenting. No one does anything until it is too late and someone is dead. All because we have adults behaving like children who can't even raise their kids properly. You want an example of crappy parenting look at the recent school shooting. They weren't raising a kid they were growing a monster. We need to do better as a nation.
