beyond me

beyond me

A Poem by Jb

So you think I'm beautiful

You look into my eyes with desire

But do you know what goes on

Behind the blue?

Can you see the glaze over my stair?

Smell the smoke in my hair?

You scan my body now

Surveying every part

Content with what you see

But do you know what's beyond this skin?

Can't you see my scars?

Head floating with the stars?

Do you really want to know what I go through?

Do you really want to know what I do?

Do you want to see my stuffing my face?

Falling to a world of disgust and disgrace?

Swallowing my hands, choking to become pure?

Do I really still have the same allure?

Falling onto the tiled floor?

Shutting myself away, closing the door?

Staring with sorrow into the mirror?

Wishing that I could run away from here?

Dreaming of a body fragile and thin?

I'm full of failure, full on sin

Dragging the razor in a line straight down?

The rose bud lips that constantly frown?

The blood that covers everything?

The constant pain, the broken string?

The listless body that can't rise from bed?

The part of me that wishes I were dead?

So even though we're sitting in the light

I'm really in the dark

So are you sure that you want to come searching?

For me?

For the insantiy?

Because this is all

That I'll ever be

This is my true beauty
