Body Image

Valleys and dips and

bulges and hills

neverending and spoiling the

picturesque view I could be if

the mountains stopped rising and

the canyons stop falling and the mirror

stops showing the horror I see.

No one's ever truly happy with how they look. There's something that we would all change about ourselves. Yet, we look how God wants us to. Why isn't that enough?

This is absolutely brilliant, easily my favourite. It was great. Love the way it was written. Like it rhymes but it isn't immediately clear where the rhyme is. It's fantastic.
And as your sister I can say you're not that bad.
