"What a **** You're a waste of space Selfish brat No one will ever like you Ugly ****** Words escalated after I said "I'm a bit cold" in 30 degree weather Wearing a thin long sleeve.. Words from my own mother I would like for her to repeat those phrases after she's seen me throwing up every "snack" I've eaten in 3 days Have her watch me cry and shake in the bathtub while slitting my wrists because a blade hurts way less than her words Have her watch me spend hours looking at thinspo and "how to be perfect" websites for self expectance because she's torn me down too far I want her to watch me talk to the people at school because she sees me as the hammer I smash my ribs against with; but truly, I am gentle I am petrified to raise my hand in class because I am so scared to mess myself up... Mommy said it was wrong to mistake. I will cry in a bathroom stall for hours if a girl DARE tell me she thinks she doesn't look good enough for the world today because that's how I feel with reminders every hour But, Maybe I am selfish Selfish to keep myself away from human engagements for so long But mommy says it's for the better Better if I stay away The words I've learned to trust so much It's the words that stab me over and over Those words are the reason I cannot accept a compliment or state my thoughts aloud Feeling far worse than suicide. Self harming Burning Carving Words hurt more Her words hurt most And now mommy might know Why there is a tear stained note waiting for her in her bedroom tonight And she might feel just a bit of pain As I did everyday Goodbye mom, I thought I loved you.

All I said was "I'm a bit cold." And she went on for 30 minutes in a restaurant telling me how useless I am. I'm suicidal enough, funny to know she would not care.
