Flaws
I know a girl
Who hates herself
She looks in the mirror with disgust
As she pinches the skin she sees as a flaw
She sighs as she whispers
"I'll never be beautiful"
I know a boy
Who smiles as he's dying inside
He takes in others problems
While he can't seem to deal with his own
And he thinks
"I can't do anything right"
I know a girl
Who causes pain to relieve pain
She wears long sleeves
So no one will see the pain from inside
That will be engraved on her skin
Forever
I know a boy
Who writes his feelings on paper
To make him feel a little less miserable
Tears roll down his cheeks
As his mind is racing, saying
"I know these people because they are like me"
