Once upon a time
When I was in my prime
Happiness was all I felt
Now everyday I have to deal with a belt
My skin used to be fair
Now nowhere is bare
Discoloration and lines
Hurt of all kinds
They have become my comfort
But also make me suffer
I press them down
And tears rise making me drown
Pain slowly recedes and leaves a slight sting
But I don’t care and continue to cling
The pain reminds me that I am still alive
As I can’t help but want to survive
So I battle on
And fight to see another dawn
At least I am not bleak
And I may be a freak
But I will just keep going
Even if it's just me and my colors that keep growing
