They are the crooked teeth
The hair that can't decide
Whether its curly or straight
Flaws are what make us, us
They are the crooked teeth
Ears that stick out a bit
Stretch marks on your thighs
The scars on your arms
Flaws make us different
All unique human beings
Flaws make us individuals
Nothing like anyone else
And why would we want to be?

What is it to purge?
Why do people suffer
Purging makes me numb
It takes many forms
Emotional pain
Physical pain
The lesser me
Would purge sustenance
I purge differently now
I purge words
Like the ones on this page
I purge my feelings
All up and down the paper
Less damage to my body
Nourishing my soul
This is how I purge now

Monsters are real
They do not live in
Closets or under beds

They live in our heads
Clawing and yelling
Trying to get out

— The End —
