"I could have been in Playboy" by Amanda Linsmeier
once this time when we had a nice computer and i
was not so nice to myself
i photoshopped my face
turning muddy hazel eyes to blue
turning brown hair to blond
getting rid of hair anywhere it did not need to be
blurring, sculpting, perfecting
erasing myself
i said to friends i’m saving up for boobs
and a nose job and i thought to myself
perhaps i can be in playboy someday when i’m sexy enough
and now when i see myself
i thank god i never went through with any of that
i have learned how
to love myself
and i hate that i had to hate myself first ... See MoreSee Less
