She...

She cuts herself
To feel relief
From the pain of the world
The blood drips
In a scarlet river
Down the length of her arm

She starves herself
To take back
The little bit if control
She has left
Her body slowly
Wastes away to nothing

She tells herself
To stay strong
Not to let all the things
People say get to her
The tears run down her cheeks
As she cries herself to sleep
Each night

She believes in herself
And her spirit stays strong
