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.
