days like today

i want to crawl out

of my own skin

i want to inhabit

a different body

i want to be less

aware of how

much space i take up

days like today

i hate

my body

i hate the fat,

rolls, cellulite, stretch marks

this is a dark space

and i will not stay here

i cannot stay here

i cannot fall again

i hate

but then

i move on,

reach out,

talk it out,

write it out,

and crawl

back into

my skin.
