soft, honey-glazed skin
January 18, 2022
soft, honey-glazed skin
am i that girl you dream of?
a girl that's enough for you:
physically,
emotionally,
mentally.
am i that girl you dream of?
that girl in which once you look at,
any other womanly temptations vanish.
does that mean i'm finally enough?
am i a girl you dream of,
a girl that's enough.
a girl that makes you forget
about the crave you had
towards other women,
the women who wear nothing
but their soft, honey-glazed skin.
oh that soft, honey-glazed skin..
am i finally the girl you dream of?
a girl that's worthy?
i'm questioning
because right now,
i feel like a girl
whose skin is nothing
but rough stone and ash.
oh that soft, honey-glazed skin..
i’m sorry my skin’s nothing
but rough stone and ash to you..

i struggle with insecurity as is, but throughout dating, the guys i've been with struggled with lustful thoughts towards women. with that in mind, it's made my self-confidence extremely low and the way i view myself. i have a constant reminder that i'm visually enough. i don't have to compete. i'm not in a competition. i'm who i am, and that's all i can be. i have no need to compare. another woman's beauty doesn't take away my own.
