I stare at two insignificant pieces of unwrapped plastic on my vanity;

How many times have those pieces of plastic covered my body?

Covering the grotesque self-inflicted wounds,

The same wounds that have imprinted themselves upon my porcelain skin,

Forming ugly twisted marks that will never leave;

How many of those bandages shielded the world from my inner turmoil?

Even I have lost count over the years,

Why do I suffer?

Not even I could tell you that,

What do I suffer from?

I don't know that either;

The bandages have always covered that up for me.
