Colors

Colors

Blue the color of her eyes
That hid the pain 
The ones that ahead the tears 
When no one is near 
The ones that have the glow even
When the tears flow 

Red the color of her lips 
The ones that hold back the tips 
The tips that mad her once feel full
Now seeps through the tile floor 

Pink the color of the nails 
That scream I’m Fine as she stands
On the scale after her favorite meal
The nails that pick up her food
In her pantry that counts 
The calories and safely puts it back 

Till she screams in pain with 
Tears running down her face 
And blood gushing out 

Me the girl who acts like 
Loving herself comes easy 
But hates herself more everyday
