This collapsed body of mine

This collapsed body of mine

I have been terribly cruel to my bodyĀ 
Maybe because Iā€™ve learnt from othersĀ 
Children imitate their parents, after all
Even if leads to their downfallĀ 

You filthy, worthless, ugly girl
Thereā€™s not a single beautiful part of you
Iā€™m a filthy, worthless, ugly girl
Thereā€™s not a single beautiful part of meĀ 
Since Iā€™m such a hopeless girl
I canā€™t help but agreeĀ 

Thereā€™s not much left of this collapsed body of mine now
I only meant to follow your lead
I mustā€™ve gotten consumed by greed
I only meant to make myself bleed
Yet I ended up like this, somehowĀ 

When did I become my own bully?
Maybe from the moment I met othersĀ 

I would like to heal this collapsed body of mineĀ 
While others merely bruised itĀ 
I broke itĀ 
For now, Iā€™ll lie and say that itā€™s fineĀ 
I donā€™t think I can make myself wholeĀ 
For how does one heal a hole?

A stella write SG, and once again your art work reflects perfectly the subject of this piece. Body dismorphia is a road of self destruction and you penned that beautifully here. I loved the lineĀ 

"When did I become my own bully?"

It is so true, we become our worse enemies in this situation. It can feel impossible to climb out of that mindset too.Ā 

A great write once againĀ
