Before

She looks in the mirror

Hoping to see something beautiful

But instead

She sees the emptiness she feels

She sees the bones poking out,

The cover up dry and crusty,

The clothes sliding off,

The fresh red marks,

And the old pink and white ones

She sees what she's done

What she thought she had to do

To make herself 'perfect'

She didn't see that she was perfect before

Before her no food diet;

Before the five layer make-up;

Before the blade cut skin;

Before the pressure became too much
