just another patient
just another pretty sad face
mommy and daddy didn't love her, same as everybody else
won't eat won't fuck won't breathe, pretend there is no weight
in these secrets, pretend and smile and pretend
shame stitched into her stomach lining
cuts herself into ten thousand pieces held in pale hands
i don't want these, take
them
just another pretty sad face
just another fucking sob story
[photo removed]
but i am lying. don't you see? in this picture, there is more
there. yes, this one taken drunkenly at midnight. there are poems in those
eyes.
maybe i am made of backlighting and the real me is hard to
see. grainy yet and elusive, but something there. something there.
