My mind

My emotions

My opinions

My body

Changes

At the flick of a switch

Flick

In the mirror I see

Pretty

Confident

Happy

Good makeup

And jokes that flow off the tongue

A fighter with healing scars

Showing them off

Proud

Flick

Now I'm

Content

Laid back

Laughing easily

Jokes fall a bit flat

Oh well

Long sleeves

Flick

Nervous

Awkward

Hiding

Bad jokes

Not thinking

Brash

Flick

Paranoid

Scared

Fake

Angry

Nails in my skin

Flick

Ugly

Small

Dirty

Confused

Scared

Fresh scars still bleeding

Wanting to disappear

But not wanting to be forgotten

Flick

Lost

Spacing

Numb

Slicing lines

Tears for no reason

Stuck

Lost

Flick

I'm okay
I don't know how I ever felt like that
I'm fine
REALLY
Don't worry about me
Just had a little breakdown
You know me, I could never leave you

But one day I might

One day I'll

Flick

And

Lose control

Go too deep

But not deep enough

And

Then

Flick

I'm


Gone
