tell yourself
that you are fine,
because:
you're normal
you're happy
you don't have scars up your arm-
right arm, so you can show people
that you're right-handed, so cutting
couldn't be the reason for those lines-
you aren't scared
you aren't afraid that you'll never learn to hide
your tears
you aren't afraid that you'll
never learn to stop
you aren't afraid that maybe
you'll never die and this will go
on and on and on
you're fine, aren't you?
you're her skinny, overachieving,
academic, athletic, pretty, perfect daughter
