“Body Issues”
By Ashley O’Hare
Put down the ruler.
Step away from the mirror.
Beauty cannot be measured.
Take a deep breath.
Drink some water.
Your world will not end
from having toast with butter.
Do not worry your mind
on those who threw you into the fire.
Mankind’s evil nature
has always been a wonder.
Count some sheep
and get some sleep.
Don’t burn yourself out
counting calories.
