Ashes.
Hey little girl,
Are those the ashes of your world?
Hidden there in a shadow box,
Held so close to your heart?
Folded paper,
Like a twisted soul,
Burn and linger,
Like a map to your tender mind.
Nothing and numbness,
Settles in quickly,
Pacing over your eyes,
Crowding your subtle hands.
Hey little girl,
Are those the ashes of your world?
Hidden there in your shadow box,
Like a knife to your soul?
Just a body.More Like This
Just a body.
Stuck inside a body,
Which I swear - it isn't mine,
So very unfamiliar,
From the one I left behind.
An imaginary stick person,
Rattles my pearly white bones
All these women walking around,
Are nothing but filthy clones.
Girls at school,
Tell me I'm fine,
No one gets it,
They're all just blind.
Cutting away my demons,
My tummy and my legs,
Hoping they'll be forgiving,
Those dirty ugly scales.
Teachers say I'm good,
At art, and sports, and math,
But none of it matters to me,
If I'm still disgusting, greasy and fat.
Mum and dad say,
'You just need to be toned',
I wish they'd go away,
And leave me the hell alo
