Creative Self Destruction

The pretty girl

With the pretty face

On the magazine

But nobody knows

The perfect price

For the perfect girl.

Weak, alone, dying

Her body politely begs

For the food she never consumes

It hurts to live

But the smile plastered

On her pretty face still remains

With her skinny ribs

And skinny wrists

Where her perfect hands stay

A starved body

Starved soul

She wasting away

With a determined mind

She glamorizes her disease

Nobody knows the perfect pain

For the perfect girl

And her creative self-destruction.

This is one of my first poems. I wrote it many a year ago.
