"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."


Her greatest enemy

Was her mirror

There was no escaping

What she saw

When she peered into

The looking glass

There was no peace

Beneath its surface

Only monsters and sin

Like Alice

She fell in

But the world she saw

Was far from pretty

Shadows and lies

Fed on all the tears

She would cry

In a world so distorted

That it would tell someone

That the skin

They where

In was not good enough

Skin

Unlike clothes

You cannot remove flesh

 

 

So they carved it

They heated you

Until you where

Melted within

They then shaped you

With fingers down throats

And skipped meals

After you began to look

Just like them

They stuffed you

In a freezer

Until you were ice

Because outer (mature) beauty

Is in

And being nice

Is out

Happiness is worth

Nothing

In a world

Where how attractive

You are

Determines

How important

You are

So tell me girl

Would you trade it all in

Your smile

Your mind

Your soul

Your virtue

Would you give it all in

And turn yourself in

Give them your skin

So they can turn you

Into another

Into another

Girl
