Just a phone call away

Every time I hang up the phone, it always rings again

Like it's begging me to give in

The constant ringing haunts me

Like the voices circling in my head

"Will it ever stop?"

I continuously ask myself that question. 

But the short answer is no. 

The voices never hang up. 

The thoughts never stop ringing. 

"You're not pretty enough."

"You're too fat."

"Don't eat that."

"You're overeating."

But it's not enough. 

My head aches with the constant chatter

With the feeling of worthlessness 

And the image of what I should look like. 

But the truth is..

I'm tired

I'm tired of answering the phone

Of giving in to the voices

Because, in all honesty 

I desperately want to feel like enough

Society is always telling us the things we aren't

How we should look

The new trends are changing every 5 minutes 

Like our bodies can be molded to fit the new standard. 

But I'm here to tell you to not answer the call. 

Hang up. 

Don't give in to what people think would make you "more beautiful. "

Because in reality, you are what makes society

Beautiful 

Everything about you embodies beauty

Even if you can't see it. 

So hang up

The ringing will end

The thoughts will fade away

But you and your beautiful presence are here to stay

So hang up.
