She didn't hate herself
at least not anymore
She didn't have the energy
Her revulsion ran low
ran deep
at this point it was self-supporting
as easy
as the thought given to breathing
and as familiar a part of her
as the glasses she's had since the age of four
One clears the view
The other distorts the vision
All the memes and quotes post by
philosophy and psychology had their lectures
religion got nailed right in
and ripped right out
Dig deep within yourself they say
you'll find your true self beneath the pain
What if it's all
fat no muscle
blood all but gone
bile mixing with the last of it
Hitting bone
and finding all that's left of marrow
is dust
Part of what blows through the heart
to keep it beating
It likes to feel it's still alive
How do you rekindle passions with that
a bonfire of bile 'n' bone
