Beauty's Never Painless.
You know how to affect me
You make me hate myself
I want to put on pounds of make-up
I want to make myself throw-up
I want to be ribs showing through skin
I want to be beautiful, to be thin
Food will never pass these lips
As I crave for yours to kiss
And when I'm only seconds from death
I'll ask
Am I pretty yet?
if ever a bit discouraged
remember
we're all made with worlds inside
and collision
though often unavoidable
need not be unenjoyable
it's a matter-of-fact fiction:
heads
wrapped up in
hearts
wrapped up in
arms
outstretched and
waiting
so
how long can you
really
stay a stranger
when it all adds up
to two too tired of alone
and everything entailed
with haunting themes recurring
and pauses
where our shouts should be
