You hate what you see
when you look
at your reflection
so you do everything you can
and nothing at all
in hopes that you start
to waste away
Stopping yourself from living
will **** the passion in your eyes
and soon they will be incapable
of seeing brightness
and your new reflection
will be worse than the one
you hated before
They forget to tell you
the new shadows on your face
make everything seem darker
because there is less surface area
on which the sun can shine
No one will tell you
that laughter and late night pizza
with best friends and warm thoughts
will taste better
than emptiness and hunger
for something more
The food might leave
an aftertaste somewhat similar
to regret,
but at least it has more flavor
than the air you **** in
to keep yourself from faltering

the moon loves us so much,
it circles us day and night.
it comes in new phases
all the time,
and we still think it's beautiful
we still stare at it in wonder
and love it nonetheless.
no matter what it is.
why can't we accept ourselves at all phases as well?
why can't we embrace our cycles?
