Literature Text

I saw bones
Etching themselves from my back
Forming two arcs
Like a swan in frightful pain

My once glowing skin
Feigned by the dullness
Of perfection
And skeletal beauty entwined

Mirrors breaking through time
Glass shattering ever so silently
Rose petals scattered on ashen skin
Tormenting scars with their delicate frailty

Wine-stained tears
Trailing from my effete eyes
A path, joined in remorse
By the sorrowful sounds on my lips

A tragedy of consequence
Produced by my integrity
Of what causes me to become a wallflower
Seeking undying beauty in everlasting peace

Tarnished thoughts echoing
Throughout this fragile soul
Still waiting on perfection
To deliver her home
About my battle with Anorexia Nervosa.

Not much else to say, really
