I'd tear all my skin off
And snap my bones too
If it somehow made me more
Appealing to you
It may be unhealthy
And it may be unwise
But watch me now
As I tug out my eyes
Each strand of my hair
I'll pluck one by one
Till the top of my head is bare
And I come undone
Do you want me gone
Or do you want me here
I'll force myself to go
Even though I wish to be near
I rip my body up
And hide my remains away
You'll never have to see me
Even if I'll never feel okay
I just want you to be content
Even if it means I'm not
I'll chew myself up
And let my corpse rot
-Madeleine
