I hate you
I hate the way you look
But not as much as the way you behave
You taunt me in the mirror
Tell me I’m ugly
Standing in front of me
Another of your repulsive mockeries
I ignore your yearning for attention
But you demand to be acknowledged
You play along sometimes
You do things I want, we get along well
But when things get hard, when I’m crumbling
You fill my head with dreams of comfort
“Eat something, just one won’t hurt”
One turns into more and you laugh as I cry into my pillow
The resulting guilt of my gluttony makes me retch in my bathroom
You love to make me jealous of other women
Making me wish I had what they have
I won’t stand for this disregard of my effort towards my health
One day I’m going to build some strength so I can win
Please Body, won’t you let me be thin

Fresh poetry, thoughts and ideas from a 17 year old mind about the ever-changing world in which we live. Gifts would be really helpful but of course, if you read my work and enjoy it that matters far more.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
