Beautiful Imperfections

I'm never good enough 
for myself.
Mirrors lashing back with 
shards of every comparison.
Disfiguration.
I believe the lies 
I tell myself.
I can't hold onto this 
broken old soul.
You try and try to 
make me satisfied.
Just hand me the money. 
Let it be over.
Corners with flickering lights 
die away before 
the calm of morning.
Darkness falls across,
finding comfort in the backs 
of my eyelids.
A world of imagination.
You can love me 
just a little longer.
My reflection will 
finally smile, 
not under false
 impressions.
Pinch me.
It was all inside my head.
Cross the road to the other side.
I'll learn to breathe and 
call myself a human being.
Emotions come and go, 
but words stay hidden in 
the swells of my heart.
I'll forgive forever, 
but forgetting the torture 
will never wash over me.
This place is beautiful.
Just like me.
