She views YouTube videos of people who may have it worse
than she does, vivid depictions of all she has gone through in private, what
she dared not admit to, even to those
closest to her,
how do you squeeze
yourself into a life if you believe you're too big to ever fit in
how does she expect
others to see her as she would like to be seen when she can't manage to see
herself like that, looking at others as bad off, getting comfort,
misery likes company
even when it is never comfortable
she clicks the like
button when she finds a video that makes her feel better about herself, a bit
better, never perfect, just enough to allow her to look in the mirror later and
tell herself she doesn't have it so bad
