She listens to the same damn song
On loop, a million times a day
Because it means she can’t hear the world
She can’t hear the words that aim to break her heart
.
She can’t give you a sob story
But she can tell you her life
.
She can tell you what the doctors said
How their rejection hurt her soul
(She wasn’t meant to get better)
.
She can tell you the rumors
She heard about herself
How she was a slut
When she was still a virgin
(But they weren’t far off in their accusations)
.
She can explain why her enemies hate her
Hate her with such deep emotion
The sarcastic remarks she spit from a venomous tongue
.
She can show you a million scars
And have an excuse for

.every.

.single.

.one.

.
She’s unique for all the wrong reasons.
(every reason you can imagine)
.
She’s sick and tired
Of being abandoned…
Mostly because it’s always her own fault
It doesn’t seem to matter
If she tries her hardest to fix those pretty broken things
Because they’ll only cut her anyway

She can't force herself to blink
Blink away the nightmares or the tears
Or even the monotony of this life
Can you close her eyes for her
So she won’t have to see this pain?

Reading this felt like a descent into isolation. You are beautiful, I can see it in your words. I hope someone can show you a reflection of how beautiful they see you some day. This is another Excellent and Emotionally Descriptive Write.

The world, no matter how ugly, can become the image we want it to become. It is your canvas, your song, your piece of art - everyone else is an actor on your stage - put you above it, not it above you. This a touching piece of work - thank you. ~Downstream~

(fingers running over you lids)..rest now. cleansing not required, you're beautiful as you are, great reflection, but remember it doesn't reflect your soul, that's yours to keep:)
