This collapsed body of mine

This collapsed body of mine

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

You filthy, worthless, ugly girl
There’s not a single beautiful part of you
I’m a filthy, worthless, ugly girl
There’s not a single beautiful part of meĀ 
Since I’m such a hopeless girl
I can’t help but agreeĀ 

There’s not much left of this collapsed body of mine now
I only meant to follow your lead
I must’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, I’ll lie and say that it’s fineĀ 
I don’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
