I Tore Myself Apart

Self esteem / body image stuff.

I tore myself apart in the mirror again today.

I stared at my reflection for a while and I pulled out all my hair.

I turned around a few times. I observed myself.

I scratched off all my skin and I let my muscle fall to the floor.

I laid out my organs and cursed each one for making me imperfect.

Nothing but a frame of bones, I stood before the mirror a while longer.

I would have crushed every last piece of myself, but I have to get up and do this again tomorrow.

I put myself back together in the mirror and lived some more.

This is a very, very strong poem. Shows how much we can hate ourselves, to a point where we feel like ripping ourselves into pieces but in the end that's not possible and we have to continue living on with this feeling. Awesome write, bro.
