Here’s the second of two specially-written pieces for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek: as discussed last Monday, body image is a big deal for me and is something I’ve struggled with for decades. Now, however, it is not nearly as problematic as was once this case.
I suppose, as a result, you could also consider this piece as autobiographical.
Outside
Presentation, count
ways to look better: measure
perception, result.
Camera’s a lie,
pointless deception: smoothing
flaws into focus.
Step away, redress
internal balance; preserve
personal conscience.
What’s possessed within
far more vital: true beauty
growing from within.
Outside, realised
transformation: evolving,
solid impression.
