i can’t even bear
to see what has become of
the girl outside me
so what makes me think
that the girl inside this skin
won’t be any worse?
the mirror shows me
the ugly face of nature
mother and human
please
let me drown myself
in powder and false hope of
a better morning
perhaps tomorrow
i will stir awake, prettier
or as good as dead
