Literature Text

Her eyes are wide when she sleeps

swimming in her irises, pictures are sweet.

but they’re bitter as coffee in the bottom of a cup

and she bawls.


Pretty faces in the mirrors of her skin

dig their nails into the meat of her shin

its warm like a fire reaching out to her toes

and she crawls.


The room is washing her in purples and blues

rosy colors dance a ballet so true

and the soft low moan of her lips when she’s hungry

she falls.
this poem was created on the ideas of self-image, the effects of pop culture, touching on anorexia.

also following the theme of insomnia.
