SAD PEOPLE AND THEIR SAD BODIES

SAD PEOPLE AND THEIR SAD BODIES

A Poem by sandro-botticelli
"

Based off of a youtube video that interviews children vs adults about their biggest insecurities. A harsh, abstract social commentary

"

NOTHING

NOTHING NOTHING

mermaid tails
cheetahs 
legs
4, 5, 6 head
absolutely everything

throwing up

staying in bed

grabbing at skin and stuffing it in garbage bags
can’t ever really win

YOU’RE SO MEAN
YOU’RE SO MEAN 
YOU’RE SO RIGHT

can’t crawl up mother earths c**t and come out as someone else
can’t store self love in a box to huff when you can’t sleep at night
