This collapsed body of mine

This collapsed body of mine

I have been terribly cruel to my body 
Maybe because I’ve learnt from others 
Children imitate their parents, after all
Even if leads to their downfall 

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 me 
Since I’m such a hopeless girl
I can’t help but agree 

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, somehow 

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

I would like to heal this collapsed body of mine 
While others merely bruised it 
I broke it 
For now, I’ll lie and say that it’s fine 
I don’t think I can make myself whole 
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 line 

"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. 

A great write once again
