Flesh Flash from Cool Story by Lisa

It’s a terrible face in the black of the screen. It’s terrible lace around the corners of my dreams and I can’t get up and take their offer. My feelings differ - I guess they prefer to disappear like me. I told them to breathe, but they won’t listen. They don’t believe in me. They think I can’t take it. Oh no. So she can cry and I can’t cry, so no one sees what I can’t hide. With anorexics in the kitchen I feel like a big fat lie. My mind is fucked up, I only believe in skeletons. This flesh could be loved. My bones they wanna see the sun. I’m under the gun again and I come undone again and I think I should run. So we’re waging a war no one will win. This body deserves every scar on its skin and I’d search every corner for a little bit of love, but there is too much of all of the above and my disgust doesn’t bother.
