Self Destruction

She's seventeen,

And can already tell you everything,

About self destruction,

She can tell you how,

To dress fresh cuts,

In the dark,

With makeshift bandages,

And which foods,

Are easy to throw up,

She knows a thousand excuses,

"I already ate"

"I'm just cold"

"It was the cat"

She's learned to hold,

All her feelings inside,

Until late at night,

And cover her mouth,

With her hand,

So no one hears her,

She's perfected,

Her fake smile,

And she's been taught,

-Oh so painfully,

To build her walls up high,

To keep everyone out.

-A.S.
