Shattered self image
Who is staring back at me
Tired eyes paint her cheeks
She is not the same as she used to be
Gripping on to what she has left
Drowning in the waves
Dripping from her lips
What she consumed
Earlier than this
She has lost control
Relapse
Repeat
Trying to feel free
Trying to be seen
