Bound and Bent

bones bend to

match the curve

of a corset-

bodice bound

and tightly laced.



in an era where

looseness is revered,

I cram my body

to fit my own standard

of beauty securely.



I can't imagine

not feeling restrained;

I wish to be free

of the confines

but I may have forgotten

how to breathe.
