Cannot bear

by katie!   May 1, 2005


I cannot bear to look upon an image of myself
Turn away from my reflection is disgust and shame
So awful to look at, so horrible to view
As I hurt my body, with different ways to maim

The loathing swells up in me, every time I see face
I shudder in revulsion, and turn to face another way
Hideous features, rotten to my very core
Detestable and easily rejectable, as everyone says

Unattractive, unbearable, tear my face up
Smash my fists through the smoky glass
Blood pours from my hands, as I pick up the pieces
The reflection of pain, stares out at me and laughs

Overweight, I feel so ashamed and cheerless
Sever all these connections, slice away the pain
Spoil my skin, with a new incision, a new escape
Smile with no emotion as I hate myself again

    Oh hun that's so sad. Don't feel that way I am sure you have many good qualities. It's the person you are on the inside that truly matters. You seem like a very sweet person. Don't let anyone ever bring you down. Stay Strong! Take Care of yourself! Brooke 5/5
