acne craters caved in on pubescent skin

girls at school would be covered in the

thickest layer of orange

conscious that the scars from anxiety habits of picking would peek through the pound concealer

but this is no peter piper picked a peck of picked peppers

this is georgia and zara and molly

comparing the sizes of their breasts in the

pe changing rooms

egging on the asmtha from the victoria secret perfume that has been sprayed 19 times to mask the scent of the boys who played rugby

this is a young me getting changed in the

toilets because I was undeveloped underneath

my white vest - a white vest not a bra

my nokia 100 displayed a snake

winding round a square screen

their bbm pins were swapped on scribbled notes with multicoloured hearts and kisses

next to their average names

boasting about the boy bands they met and how harry or niall or zayn hugged them and

oh how they’d never wash again

i backcombed my hair and slipped on a leather jacket just to be called degrading names
