The Girl
Beautiful hair
Long, brown, soft
Perfect nails
Long, smooth, pretty
Freckles here and there
a soft face, kind eyes
perfectly slimmed torso
not a flaw in sight
no scars on her arms
or bruises on her legs
a seemingly perfect girl
no imperfections around
shaggy ragged hair
messy and scattered
chewed bleeding nails
cut to the skin
a face wet with tears
pimples and sad eyes
body with no content
no perfection in sight
scars on her arms
bruises on her legs
stressed to the bone
and whose fault is it?
who ruined this beautiful girl?
herself?
her knife?
her parents?
or her life.
