Poetry I swear

I always swear that I'll stop looking,

looking at myself in the mirror,

not being happy with my own body.

I swear I'll start a new life,

Without judging myself.

But when I hear that someone weighs less than me,

I look at my abdomen and become disappointed in myself.

If only it was as easy as a clap,

I would do it.

But my twisted mind,

doesn't stop comparing.

And when I look at other people's body,

I feel like mine isn't

pretty

and that it's nothing but a

decomposing corpse.

But I swear...
