Beautiful Tragedy

Beautiful Tragedy

A Poem by Aerosol4Brains
"

I want to wear ripped up, size zero jeans like I've just crawled my way right out of my own dark fairy tale. I want to be a beautiful tragedy.

"
I'm sick.
I lick my lips and want from Ana and Mia,
They're just stunning like that.
I eat and cry and eat and cry and before I know it
BAM!
Girl, you are a size 18.
And cry some more.
I'm a hypocrite. 
I tell my friends to love who they are,
So f*****g special,
I promise.
You're not.
You're average.
I'm average.
Zero. Zero. Zero.
Oh, how I want you.
I want you more than any boy.
Any sweater.
Any song.
I want to be all angles and shadows,
And cheekbones,
And baggy clothes,
And pretty.
And pretty tragic.

I want to see the notches in my spine.
I want to see the sun shine through the gap between my thighs.
I want to be that tiny silhouette at the windowsill.
I want to wear ripped up, size zero jeans like I've just crawled my way right out of my own dark
fairy tale.
I want to be a beautiful tragedy. 
I'm sick.
I hate that I know that I'm sick.
I hate that I know that I'm sick and I still can't let them go.
Ana. You're strict. But fair. I love you.
Mia. You're stubborn. But I kinda f*****g love you, too.

This is how I feel right now. Honestly. It's wrong, I know. But I cannot help it. I just can't.
