Self:Loathe

There is nothing beautiful here. There is nothing profound. This is a confession. I've littered my skin with blood ridden callouses and blisters torn apart. I've poisoned my body with chemicals and substances all for the greater good. I've left black inked testaments across my canvas in the name of art. I've stretched my skin with needles and plastic so that I would stick out. I've broken, repaired, shattered, healed, destroyed, salvaged myself to appease the mirror. But there is nothing beautiful here. There is nothing profound. This is a confession. There is nothing beautiful here.
