I was thinking about things and this is what I came up with when it came to body image.
Deceptive Image
Why do you stare at me, as if through me?
Am I your yesterday’s trash?
Do you see the real me, or the me you want to see?
Can you see the scars that you have given me?
Are you too blind to see?

I hide,
I cry,
I bleed,
I die,

Do you even care?
What pain you cause me.

My heart it beats as if crushed.
My back it breaks under the weight.
This heartache I cannot hide.

I breathe my last under this deception.
I can no longer drink these lies.
Take this knife you have fashioned.
Plunge it into my heart,
This is my deception.
