Faceless Woman
(original poem by Sarah)
published 04.21.21
even on my good days, i am not good.
i am stitched together with codependency
and always begging men not to leave,
i think i like to be unloved.
maybe it just cements some type of need
my daddy could never fix growing up.
but when i got my boobs in 9th grade
i never tried to be a person again.
so here i am, a faceless woman that bleeds anxiety
and cries for guys that will never see
I am more than just my late blooming body.
but then i lay in restless peace
knowing i will never be more than what they made me.
i am merely the faceless woman of their dreams.
words from the author:
I wrote this about being riddled with unfulfillment because of how hard it is to separate yourself from your trauma. With that said, to all my bad bitches with identity issues: you are not what men have made you.
