I peel back my pockmarked skin and claw away at my imperfections. I wish to know what it feels like to be stared at; not because I'm a freak or burn people's retinas but because they're drawn to me. Struck by my eyes that promise unrequited love and legs that could take you anywhere you dream of.

------

My hips may not lie but I can guarantee you my lips do and my road maps will leave you off track and wandering aimlessly. I'm not your role model or tour guide or best friend and I hope you know that when you need me, I won't be there.

------

I pluck my eyes out and wander around so I can see what it's like to be blind. I've always had a distorted view of reality because eyes deceive. They trick you into making you see what you want to believe. I hear your laughs and snickers and false advice but follow it anyways.

------

I starve myself and push myself to the brink of death. Hopefully soon my ribs will stick out threatening to break free of my skin and my stomach will be flat and my skin a golden brown. I just want you to notice me and want me and envy me. True beauty lies within underneath the skin. God, I don't even know where to begin. Who are you trying to fool by believing this? We all know true beauty is having eyes someone could get lost in and a smile that makes you stutter and a complexion free of blemishes and discrepancies.

------

Now leave me be to my sick obsession, my unwillingness to settle for anything less than perfection. One day the sun will set for me and I will be all that I can be. Until then, I'm just another wayward person in a distorted world of people chasing after what they can never have; someone else's life.
