Rephrasing Reality

On a cold November morning

She awakens

Her eyes

Sunken and unaware

Of the beauty

That lies ahead

 

All she sees

Are the fears

The weights,

Dragging

Pulling

Gnawing away

At her frail, fragile bones

 

She is lost

She is broken

She is gone

 

Sitting

In a ***** room

Picking up a pen

And trying

Desperate and futile

To take back

What she believes has died

 

She stops

The naked scars taunting

Watching from her forearms

She grins

In that eternal moment

She is perfection

 

Her scars smudge

Her flesh smooth

Those vicious weights

Nowhere to be found

 

She is free

Untouchable

She is the words

That she has written down

She is the future

Which she had feared

 

She is the reality

Which she can believe in
