Empty Mirror
Lost inside a feeling
Produced by the moment
Deep inside the locked gates
Rests a solemn sole
Who for a moment lost her wits
And dove too deep
Reached too far inside
an enclosed envelope
Sent to her by
Danger and Excitement
Pins and needles
adrenaline and fear
an entirely unknown
boundary was crossed
Just one more stripe
One more blast of color
One more cut
Look at those imperfections
Fix them
Fill them
Make them better
Look into the empty mirror
Disgust followed by hate
Too pale
Bite the cap off the Sharpie
Fill in the blank space
Black lines up and down her face
Impulsive doings
Do it again
Red Marker, fill in the features
Mark it, Destroy it
With Words
Blue Marker, Label it
Worthless, Useless and Alone
Written on her face
Make the pain Visible
Cut the Wrist
Make it bleed
And the crimson blood gush
Smear it on your new creation
Is the suffering real enough now?
Can you accept me now?
Now can I accept myself?
