Ribbon

Tightening around me every breath I take
Cutting into my skin every step I make
This rope binds me
Forcing me to be

Be perfect be kind
Be healthy keep a clear mind
Insecurities I bury every day
Negative thoughts I chase away

Leaving marks all over my wrists
As I ball my hands into fists
I can't feel any hope
And it hurts me, this rope

But my thoughts stay hidden 
So everyone thinks it's a ribbon.
