I watch my reflection in the mirror with my pale blue eyes watching my lifeless stature in the dark bones made out of gelatin and my heart out of fragile glass that breaks everytime i see myself My fingertops softly touch my face Tears keep coming faster till my waterlines are overflowing My nails grow sharper and my fingers cramp digging holes under my eyes I want to shatter my bones And burn my skin to ashes I want to rip the hair from my scalp as well as all the pages filled with frustration scratching and screaming I have to be pretty but the need for it grows as well as the demons inside my soul

The Frustration of Perfectionists
I watch my reflection in the mirror with my pale blue eyes watching my lifeless stature in the dark bones made out of gelatin and my heart out of fragile glass that breaks everytime i see myself My fingertops softly touch my face Tears keep coming faster till my waterlines are overflowing My nails grow sharper and my fingers cramp digging holes under my eyes I want to shatter my bones And burn my skin to ashes I want to rip the hair from my scalp as well as all the pages filled with frustration scratching and screaming I have to be pretty but the need for it grows as well as the demons inside my soul
They cannot ever be satisfied And that makes them depressed They try to run from it but fail to escape Instead of running they need to defeat the monsters with guns Jun 29 2014 © WAJ
