sometimes
i want to
_s c r a t c h m y s k i n o f f_
peel it off my body
in a desperate attempt
to set free the
self-hatred and anxiety
sometimes
i want to
_t a k e a k n i f e t o m y f a t_
carving it away
shaping my body
into something
that won't disgust me
sometimes
i want to
_s t a r t o v e r_
take an unforgiving blade
to the girl i used to be
run away until my lungs burst
and i'm finally set free
