Repurposed Hands
Location
Her gaze drops in class
Towards the meat they butcher
Her heart races and her breath is short
Her past flares up again
She wonders how she even got this far
Just a mere year ago it was her meat that was butchered
Battling depression, self harm, and suicide
Now there’s a new start a new future
But the demons of the past don’t stay at bay
As she looks at the splitting flesh all she can see is her own
Locked in a bathroom with a razor tearing through the pain
Her mind goes foggy and her hands shake
She fights though, she can not stop now
She proved her thoughts wrong
Wasn’t destined to an early grave at her own hand
She fought and battled against her most fearsome enemy
She made it
The future once seemed like an illusion
Takes shape under her repurposed hands
