the lightning shone
to guide the way
but the thunder couldn't see

the thunder spoke
to tell the lightning
but the lightning couldn't hear

endlessly they wandered
right towards each other
but none of them could know this
so they couldn't be together

i am the definition of self destruction
i hurt myself until i cannot function
my skin is scarred by my self harm
i rip apart my legs and arms
i have bruises from punching walls
but i just say they're from nasty falls
i simply crave to be alive
but my body only thrives
on self loathing and on hate
so i often wonder, is this my fate?
am i doomed to hurt every single day?
is life worth living if it is this way?


**( c )

they told me that true beauty
came from within
so i tore myself open
and i slit my skin
i hoped that some beauty would leak out
but all it did was fill me with doubts
they lied to me
why would they do such a thing?
no beauty on the outside
and no beauty within
and all that was left of my ceaseless attempts
were my       u g l y     scars
lining my body, my heart and my head
