if you’re insecure, don’t date an artist.
if you’re insecure, don’t date a poet.
they’ll be co-writing love poems with other poets,
poems about how amazing they feel when they’re next to each other.
poems about how all the problems in the world disappear when their souls collide.
if you’re insecure, don’t date a photographer.
they’ll be taking beautiful photographs of other people.
possibly nude photos…
photos exposing skin full of melanin
sweat dripping, passion reminding you of sin.
if you’re insecure, don’t date a model.
they’ll be touching bodies.
bodies that aren’t yours…
chemistry building between them,
photographs screaming “LOVE.”
if you’re insecure, don’t date an actor.
they’ll be kissing & touching someone that isn’t you.
building a life with someone that isn’t you…
building forever with someone that isn’t you…
WHILE YOU WATCH.
if you’re insecure, don’t date a visual artist.
they’ll be stroking bodies
which you think are the epitome of beauty.
sketching nudes of sweat, naked pink.
which will probably make you think…
“am i good enough?”
if you’re insecure, why are you dating that artist…
when they probably draw all their inspiration
of love & beauty
from you?
