Hot Body?
<p>Since I clocked thirteen, getting dressed has felt like walking through a minefield. It’s either too tight or too loose, too loud or too much.</p><p> Their eyes feel like hot coals sitting right on my skin, and even when their gossip is a mile away, it buzzes like a mosquito right against my ear.</p><p><br/></p><p>"See her body, she’s doing those fishy things"</p><p><br/></p><p>"Girls of nowadays"</p><p><br/></p><p>"Use your body to get what you want."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Simi, see how thin you are. Is that not your mate with a fine body?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Bruh, my head is spinning. Leave the innocent children alone, will you?</p><p><br/></p><p>Whew! I thought they wouldn't stop.</p><p>I stopped eating, and it still didn't work. I saved up for a surgery to at least buy a little peace in my own skin, and boom, emergency wiped it all out. Back to square one.</p><p><br/></p><p>So look, y’all, bye. I am done. Truly, deeply done trying to fit into a mold built by people who wouldn't know self-worth if it tripped them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Away from me, though? I could claw your eyes out. Leave us alone.</p>
