Mirror on the wall, what is this?
My body's a skeleton
Hideous, disgusting
My paper-thin skin
Is too tight for the bones
Breaking free
Inside out
I'm bursting.
My mind
Doesn't work
All colors disappeared
Grey is my new favorite color
Depression is my new name
Death is my new dream
Pain is my best friend.
As my eyes are fading
And my knees shake
As I can't remember how to breathe
I imagine blood travelling down my wrists
Bullets blowing my brain out
Ropes tightening my throat
Removing my nonexistent breath.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
What is this you are showing me?
Is it just a bizarre joke?
A wicked nightmare?
A failure in life?
Tell me
I'm loosing myself.
Slowly, surely.

-And the slow clap echoed around the silent cavern-
It's the 3rd stanza that does it for me, which of us haven't imagined this in our deepest despair?
Well Done

This almost drags me back to the so-called beauty shoved in our faces by the fashion industry.
Young girls forced to starve themselves, never pleasing those they work with, always having to be thinner. Those who don't fit the definition feel isolated and, in extreme cases, turn to the dark road of depression or even suicide.
This is simply how I perceive it though. Something to do with my strange mind? Most likely...

I like the way you understand this, you have a good point.
I wrote because I felt that way, and I did it because I hoped people would notice how horrible I felt if I got to look even more like a skeleton
