be careful what you wish for

4-6-15

Do you know what it feels like 

to melt?

Watching yourself drip into a shallow puddle

at your feet. 

You scan over your hands

to see them disintegrate

only leaving bones behind.

Your skin peels and bubbles off.

Isn't this what you wanted?

You begged for bones and 

stinging hip bones.

You just never thought it would actually 

feel so agonizing.

This really hit home for me. It was almost too hard to read. Is this supposed to be about body image? For me, it felt like the speaker was hit full force with what they had become and for a moment cannot even stand to see the truth.

Body image was the biggest point, yes. Waiting to be something that you've wanted to be for so long, then finally getting there and not knowing all along it was going to be, I guess, hard to read.

Definitely!

I actually cringed reading this poem.
Such a short piece, yet it has such a wonderful emotional effort that I cant decide whether I am glad I read it or discomforted by the fact that I enjoyed it.
Simply put, I loved it.

I appreciate it a lot actually! Thank you so so much!
