Shame sears through me
Consuming my whole body in a bright flame
I am incinerated in guilty truth
His words striking me so deep and true
They singe my insides making me nauseous
Pivoting away from truth in vain
In fear that he could feel
The searing flames devouring my body
And I am greatful the lights are off
Concealing my disgrace
"You wish you had boobs that big.
That’s just padding.”
The barbed words bite into my new confidence
Reminding me that I was wearing a push-up bra
That I fit into
That I had said I would never wear
Because I knew, it would be fake
The confidence, the looks, everything
And I despised myself
And I wanted to cry
But then he would know
It was true
So I hide,
Pick up my shattered confidence
And try my hardest
Not to dwell in self pity
As the fire dies and leaves me cold
