Lisa's smile

Lisa's smile

A Poem by Malvika

she cried alone in the bathroom.tried to control her tears.
she knew she shouldn't cry,but she really got hurt.
she looked at herself in the mirror.
there were stretch marks on her curves.
her breasts and hips were size-able which made it impossible for others to see her face .
she wore a loose black shirt and blue jeans , she wiped her tears got some makeup on her face to hide the tears.
she opened the door and walked out with a smile.

I've been down this road before. Pasting on a smile to push forward through my work day. This was very relatable and a pleasure to read. I remedied my situation my switching careers and it was one of the best I've ever made. Great read.

very nice and simple words, yet describe a huge issues in this world.
I like the way you started with feeling guilty of being hurt to body shaming and ending up with depression.

Gee
Thing is, we often exaggerate in our own minds the bits and bobs about ourselves that we ain't to fond of and then think others view us differently to what they really do.

Good on her for building up enough confidence to face the world.... Can be a cruel and lonely place but can also be an enjoyable space. Nice work.
