"Eyeglasses"

It began with eyeglasses.
We began to see the flaws in our bodies.
The more we saw, the more we hated,
and the more we had to fix.
Fix my sight. Now my hair to match.
Now my skin, bronzed like gods.
Wasting away so we can show our waists.
We began to fix. Then we began to break.

Excessive, obsessive, oppressively taking
away from our bodies.
Our bodies. Our selves. Individuals selling
their images for a more
acceptable, seducible, inexcusable one.
It began with eyeglasses
and it won't end until we are completely blind.
