We dwell in a cold world,
Heartless and sick, we remain
Shards of glass lay thrown about
from a mirror that we place beauty.
As bloody wrists lye guilty,
In a morbid desire to increase stability
And grasping for air to ease the pain
You cover up flaws with scars
And the scars with makeup
Fixing a face with a mask
It escalates to more then just hate
Underlying with self pity
As different roles begin to play
We aren’t who we claim to be
Under shadows we really show
As light attempts to break through
But we blockade against the truth
Because shame is our killer,
We reach out for acceptance
As we cut ourselves for perfection
Piecing together flesh that doesn’t belong
As our hearts beat to keep us alive
We only bruise them with harsh words
Beating each other down
Hoping in the end we come out on top.
But when in all actuality
Real beauty lies forgotten
And it lies in the ashes and scars from our attempts to shine.

Well i dont think there's much to say i guess i think people hate themselves and like they constantly put themselves down, i should know i do that, but like i think they take it too far by plastic surgery and cutting and hate who they are too the point where its destructive and theyre changing who they are.
say what u wish

that was good, i would have to agree that no matter what a person does to themselves i think they are always going to hate themselves or whatever the case mybe...i would have to admit that i use to hate myself but i learned to realize that if i continue down that path then no one will love me...cause what i learned is that if you dont love yourself first then no one else can be allowed to love you or you wont be allowed to love someone else..but great write i enjoyed it keep it up and i will read more from you soon
Much love to you

dude this is totally awesome. the last bit of it, where it says our hearts beat to keep up alive, i love that it makes you think about how complex the human body really is and how it is a fucking miracle that we work and function the way we do, so we should just be happy that we are even alive, but we completly rip apart our bodies to look good on the outside. This is awesome and i can totally relate, i hate myself too lol. but amazing write my love.
