Bury the light

Born from a need

To fix myself

I draw lines

On the skin

That defines me

Belittles me

A fuelled necessity

To take what distorts me

And repair it

Rip back layer after layer

Of ugly

And somehow

Make me less repulsive

Burn darkness

Around broken mirrors

So the light wont

Get in

And my image stays hidden

Unaware

That the repulsion

Is buried

Further than tearing my skin

Can ever reach
