I See a Girl

I see a girl. Staring back at me with those eyes so desolate, Devoid of any happiness that was present before; Seeing how her face was so desperate, I couldn't help but to weep some more. I see a girl. Gazing at a reflection so revolting, Her every flaw in the open for anyone to see; Hoping for her body to just be molting, Wishing there was a different person she could be. I see a girl. Desperate to purge herself of her own thoughts, She picked up the blade and made a small enough cut; But that cut led to many more... too big to clot, She accepted her fate with happiness, though she was anything but. -Rebecca V.
