"This work is a short poem about chest dysphoria and feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, as well my own lack of acceptance towards my experience with it."

I am uncomfortable in my body,

The same say most people are uncomfortable, I think,

I don’t know many people who like their bodies.

My body is something I don’t like to be aware of,

I flatten my chest with a tight sports bra,

I am scared to commit to a binder,

Scared to take the prospect of full removal seriously,

That would make it too real.

 am uncomfortable in my body,

The same say most people are uncomfortable, I think,

My chest is in the way of myself,

It’s in the way of more things as well,

But I’m not sure what.
