My Body Is Too Big

My body is too big My bones loom over me and my flesh wraps around them Heavy like the bricks of a lighthouse tower The waterfall of my tears posted proudly on a magazine cover Eighth wonder of the natural world A thousand miles before it reaches the pillowy ground My skin stretches over my frame like a canvas painted with freckles and scars Enough paint to cover the world twice over is needed to cover it’s expanse My body lumbers around like I giant when I move Collapsing in on itself under it’s own weight when I stumble My souls feels like an ant trapped in the body of a lion The pins that hold me together are silk needles trying to hold wool I am a pebble in the body of a mountain, unsure if the wind will whisk me away or if I was ever supposed to move in the first place I feel bulky and gangly Shaky and frozen Filling a room like water fills a cup, cold and loud when all i want is to disappear quietly Because I feel like my soul could walk through the eye of a sewing needle like a grand palace gate And whenever my soul feels small My body is too big
