mirror.

ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

i stare at the mirror that i desperately tried to avoid

i look at myself wondering what happened to me

i look at the scars that i have painted on my arms and thighs

have my bones always stuck out that like?

i sit here trying to convince myself to keep fighting, that life is worth living,

that i am enough.

as i watch the blood drip from my arm i realize,

i will never be good enough.
