By Love: Five act play love yourself
In the first act, you will see me,
Being raised by a happy mother
Feeding me love in happy summer
My dad somewhere in the background
My brother a peach like baby and round.
In the background you can also see
Paintings of flowers, birds and bees.
In the second act, you will see
My friends screaming,
My existence feels like sinning
Because they say I am in the fat-team,
My body dying and wasting.
Me doing nothing but questioning
My entire existence,
Slowly losing all of my sense.
In the third act, you will see,
Me with the book,
Submerged in white nook,
Wearing a graphic tee
And my bookmark reads
“Screw love nothing is real.”
In fourth act, you will see,
A box of tissue, a bucket of ice cream
Me crying in a light so dim
I am watching a movie, and my heart sinks
When the actress screams
‘Young people fall in love with wrong people sometimes.’
In the fifth act, you will see,
Happy, woke and fulfilled me
With music of sea,
A bag of chips and bucket of ice cream
Rolled in a warm cozy cover
Only this time I am with my lover.
I used to think my body was a sin
My feeling dark yet real
Felt like they belong to dustbin
But then you walked in,
Never have I ever felt so good to be wrong,
Tums out, you are the home where I belong.
