Greedy

by

Katherine Tildes

Sometimes I feel I need more than him
More than what he says
more than the comforting voice,
the assuring words
of love

I feel I need more than just him
ogling my legs
my hips and breasts
I know he wants me
of course he does
he’s my boyfriend,
my love

But what about the other million men?
Do any of them look at me
and think, "damn, she’s hot..."
Probably not
oh well

You probably think I’m vain
shallow
Well I’m not
I’m just a girl unhappy with herself
on a particular day
Just need the assurance from someone
else
The comfort in that someone else finds me attractive

135
size 9
36 d
5’4
Not bad really
Look just like my mother
Just feel gross in this media-defined world
Where every girl is supposed to be
size 0 and 5’6 with balloon boobs
and wear Abercrombie& bitch

How’s a girl supposed to survive?
Fight, believe, be yourself.
Comfortable in your skin
Fuck the media

But still...
