When I think of me, I have…

 

The idea of my green eyes

Peering out to the world

From deep within bloated cheeks

Disproportionate to the skin

Around some form of chin

Is the one that remains

Despite

Mirrors and the knowledge that I can again

Trace my fingers along a visible jaw line

I am not thin

Whether in my head

Or as you see me

It makes no difference

It’s like a scar

Somewhere in my brain

That does not fade

That mars the

Mirrors and the knowledge that I can again…

Nevermind about me.
