A Thin Crack of a Girl
When I look in the mirror I see me.
I see all I want to be.
When she looks in the mirror she wants to see me.
She's a thin crack of a girl
She's been used and abused by the world
So she hurls.
I see her tourture her food into paste,
Maybe only absorbing the taste,
Then tossing it in the waste.
But that thin crack of a girl is
Broken.
Cracking and with a scream is
Woken.
How can a thin crack of a girl
Hold so much pain, and hatred of self?
But not much else.
