Literature Text

Her flawless skin so colourless and pale,
Smooth and silky soft to touch,
Exudes a radiance so pure to see,
Though she despises it so much.

Hidden beneath the clothes she adorns,
Out of reach of adoring eyes,
That skin so fresh and perfect,
Spilt tears of blood it painfuly cries.

Disfigured beyond its former beauty,
Scarred by the years of pain,
Every day showing signs of torment,
Like rings of a tree each year they gain.

She has nobody to help her through this,
Feeling isolated and alone,
Fearing the next cut will be her last,
The inevitable to no longer postpone.

This touches me personally. I never cut I burned. But still I can empathize with this poem.
