Thousands

She has only done this thousands of times
Painted herself with the colors of pale blues browns and deep purples
When will the bruises fade?
When will it go away?

She has only done this thousands of times
Filled herself with the anxiety and self loathing
When will the bruises fade?
When will it go away?

She has only done this thousands of times
Verbalized unworthy routes and verbs into actions
When will the bruises fade?
When will it go away?

Now covered in the stretches and bubbles she has bestowed upon herself,
She must move
She must break the cycle
She must stick with the agreement

She has only done this thousands of times
Attempted to fit in the shadow that has been traced
When will she reach transparent features?
When will she have the splendor she is seeking?
