self loath verses self love
tonight i cried
because i lost controll.
tonight as i stood in the shower
as i stood naked and alone
i cried.
tonight i remembered when i was the girl
the boys fallowed around
calling her
"fatty"
"ugly"
"discusting"
and tonight i realised
i am still that girl.
the skin i inhabit
was hers at that time
and the heart i have now
though more blackened and broken
is also hers
i am her still
ive always been
i always will be.
these very ears heard these words
these very hands wraped around my shoulders
and warmed me when i felt too cold to sleep
tonight as i lightly slid the tip of my ringer along the blades oh siccors
i wanted to dissapear
i wanted to be gone
and i knew how possible it was.
i knew these blades were capable
i knew where my arteries were
but tonight, as i lowered the blades...
i closed my eyes
i remembered her.
i saw her face
swollen and red
and i saw her sitting alone
remembering the things they had told her that day
the day before
the week before
and i saw her
i wanted to run t her
to wrap my arms around her
to scream her beauty into her ear
let it ring in her skul
let her know shes okay...
tnight, i set the siccors down.
because that girl was me.
i needed to love myself
i needed to love her
maybe that will set her free
