Analysis of Survivor
Black and blue marks
All over my arms
Making patterns
Like strawberry fields.
Oh how beautiful.
Small, veiny hands
Grasp the needle
Unaware that I
Am showing my soul.
Oh how beautiful.
High as a kite
My skinny fae
Has a knowing smirk
Great bone structure.
Oh how beautiful.
Put that picture away
Not me anymore
But good to remember
That pretty little disaster.
Oh how beautiful.
I'm a survivor.
