What on earth could I say now, that I have not said before?
Hatred once harbored for a soul—
skinnier than they'd ever be again—
It's smoking inside me like a gun recently unloaded
into a chest cavity mistaken for some
god awful excuse for freedom.
I claw at the skin coating my sullied bones,
as if I can lessen the density in my being
and find myself lighter than the one I love.
What an awful flaw to be flaunting.
What a heavy burden to bear that I am no longer
pretty.
