A flicker in the distance something sharp
A cry echos in the night
Long sleeves another day
she pushes everyone away
Another girl hungry. I can wait she tells herself
Nothing left but skin and bones
she starves
One more sitting all alone. She smiles but her eyes are raw.
The first girl adds to her tallys
Counting on her arms
Decoration? or self inflicted?
She cuts her life away
Number two sits at lunch. Eat something. Not hungry she says everyday. Food is a pleasure she doesnt deserve
She barely weighs a pound.
Number three waists her tears as her parents yell. Arguing over her. They can't afford her.
Number one- one more cut i don't deserve to breathe
2: One more day almost there
3: packs her bags prepared to leave home
Stop it you three. Your are beautiful. Those scars are beautiful they are symbols of the battles you've won. You with the packed bags just promise not to leave. You will be fine. Breathe. Ignore the screams. you have something you don't realize
Unseen beauty
I see your beauty
Its up to you to show it to the world
