Bones



Breaking fragile
Bones,
Trying to control
Irrational hormones

Heart I take out
From bloody water;
Hoped to purify it,
But instead it
Was subjected to
Slaughter

Hair runs wild,
I struggle to break free
Of beauty standards;
Chains I can't
Escape from,
My vision conveniently
Blurs

Breaking fragile
Bones,
I swim in a deep
Sea, full of things that
Are unknown

My mind whirs and
Causes chaos
Everywhere like a
Cyclone,
I continue
Breaking my own
Heart and fragile
Bones
