Nothing Beautiful

There is nothing beautiful about
Crumpling to the floor at 2am
And begging yourself to hang on
There is nothing beautiful about
Turning your body into a canvas
There is nothing beautiful about
That blade caressing your akin
Yet, society glorifies it all.
Sadness is not beautiful
It's a twisted relationship between oneself
A million compliments couldn't build someone up
But one insult can send them crashing down
You become more afraid of yourself
Than the monsters under your bed
We continue to glorify something
That causes people to suffocate
Even when they're still breathing

I believe society can cause more harm than do good, usually it causes the effects of the blades. Nice writing.
