Hey little girl why are you crying?
Is the weight of the world on your shoulders?
Did the stars fade out of the sky?
Are you sad because he's always lying?
Is it because you realized you're growing older?
A flower,
A beautiful bloom,
A well-lit room,
A beautiful girl,
Latina and lovely.
She made my scars beautiful,
With the soft touch of a sharpie,
And the graceful touch of art.
You never noticed
That you never saw him eat
In all the months you've known him.
You had no idea
Whether she shaved her legs
Because you never saw her in anything but sweats -
I asked you, my friend, to meet me at night
And hoped against hope that we'd be alright.
On that day I stopped watching myself fall;
Despite what you think, I remember it all.
When the sunkissed skin is disturbed, like the soil of a fresh grave, it's noticed.
If you look close, or lazily drag your fingers over the forbidden places,
you'll know.
Once it's pulled apart, it's hard to splice.
The salty tears
trickling down her face
These numerous times
can't be erased
The words that have been said
Bitch, slut, ugly, fat
Would you laugh at that?
Would you follow the others
Filthy hands shine in the light of the beautiful pain.
Glistening in the promise sin offers to gratify the mind’s desires.
Relief from the pain in frozen blood cries out.
Trembling.
Looking in the mirror I see a girl...
I'm watching her scream
I'm rewinding her dreams
I'm watching her cry
I'm practically watching her die
I sit back and watch as she tries to wipe the tears from her eyes.
We see them every day,
But never see them crying.
We claim to care about them,
But underneath, are lying.
We shun, we tease, we taunt them
As if death didn't matter.
The day is cloudy, no man in sight.
Not even the crows who cry in flight.
She looks up and she looks down, but no salvation is to be found.
Take me away from here.
Take all my fears and let me watch them disappear.
You better hurry.
Take all the unnatural scars on my body and recreate them into untouched skin.
