Ripping off my unappealing skin
the agonising pigment of my complexion
to release the pain held deep within
under the flesh of a dysphoric reflection

Torn veins peacefully rest at my heels
as I drain the blood from my face
until what once was, forever conceals
the vision of me I couldn't embrace

So I chisel away at the exposed bone
obliterating the imperfect structure of me
as mangled pieces are viciously thrown
faraway from where the eyes can see

Feeling serene as my unconscious rage dies
as I covered the remains of my dissection
looked into the mirror through porcelain eyes
as I held to my face a mask of perfection.
