i’m scared that my yellow body is too wide to love.
my skin is stretched too much that it will forget how to hold me. that my korean & vietnamese relatives will see and cast me into the shadows. the shadows will engulf me and i become one of them. they’ll hide in the corners within my mind filled with laughing ghosts. my ghostly stretch marks will grow into a forest nobody wants to live in. that if there was a wildfire amongst the trees then no one would come to the rescue.
i’m scared that my yellow body takes up too much space.
