Hello! I wrote this one while I was feeling a bit down on myself! It really helped me feel better. I drew inspiration from Frank Ocean's song White Ferrari, and I really do love it. It's a bit of a shorter one. Enjoy!
mind over matter is magic
but i am not a magician
i am a girl, a child
caught in a flurry of self
hatred
and pure loss.
so i ask
if mind over matter is true
then how does matter even matter
cells to tissue to organ to
my body
all atoms and matter and gooey inside
stuff
so how can i hate it
how can it even matter
if mind over matter is true
surely my
wit and my IQ,
my political ventures and my dreams of law,
tell a million more stories than a stretch mark
a skin fold
a scar?
my matter
does matter
for she has carried me
for 15 years
but my matter
doesn't matter more than my mind
and the mirror won't ever capture
the magic of my mind
mind over mater is magic
i do magic.
