Skin Deep Poem by Sofia Lyne

Skin Deep

Porn addictions are on par with alcoholism.
'Whore' as if my sexuality defines my feelings.
Breasts are so sexualized now, their original purpose is 'gross'.
'Fuck me! ' As if meaningless sex will bring your dad back.
If starving, eating, being hairless, modest, revealing, sober, high, drunk, pure, sexual, experienced, innocent, tall, short, no makeup, makeup, light & dark skin, is the beauty standard- how will i ever be appealing?
'Those sleeves are too revealing'
Says the shirtless man on a 40°c day.
I'm a 'slut' for embracing my sexuality & i'm a prude if i'm a virgin, in an anti-mastibatory society, how am i meant to develop?
A society where we shun menstruation as if it isnt the only blood born not of violence & hate.
