body arti.
sometimes i wish our bodies
were as useful as they are fragile
if they were,
i would use my blood to paint
and my bones to sing
i would use my fingernails
to show the world
my exact state of mind,
covering my body in art–
paintings colored with scarlet and coal
yes, i would buy my own machines
and etch into my snowy cloak
the words of emotion
and beauty
i would endure the pain
of both colors
holding onto the thought
that at least now–
with these tattoos–
i could actually look
like who i am
and who i want to be
if my body was my kind
of “alterable”
i wouldn’t wear anything
but what exactly fit my state of mind;
whether that meant jeans
and jewelry
or only leather
and my naked tattoos
i would learn to dance–
the interpretative kind–
show those around me
what motion can show of e-motion
you would see a girl
whose art is her life,
whose mind can imagine
a beauty all its own
and whose body
could actually

You've suffered enough...My dearest child, do not weep, for I am here to wipe your tears away. Come, let us be free of these blankets; let us walk from these dim halls.
There lies what once was your body, fevered and eaten by disease. Your lips are cracked and bleeding, your arms are both thin and sallow. Do not fear them now, for they are long passed.
Come away now, for we must say your final goodbyes. Here to the mother and father that came to your bedside each day. Here to the brother, who shall honour your name. Do not be jealous of them, my dearest child. For you are simply moving ahead; you have not fallen behind.
“But why, why does it hurt so much?”
Why? Because the memories are still carried within you. Your attachments are still strong in this world. That which you didn’t achieve, that which you haven’t done. All of it is carried as chains upon your body and they will stop you from
Weapons of the 21st centurywelcome to this world girls and boys
envy is what you will be made to employ
made to be concious about fat or thin
this world makes self approval another sin
so you grow up being based on the people in your magazines
and even those people on your tv screens
never made to be happy with your self
but a self starved torture is not better for your health
watch the tv thats telling you how to be
magazines that tell you to be as thin as a celebrity
breast enlargments that you dont need
surgical enhanced customisation is clearly a disease
crtisizm , diet pills and surgery
this is the weapons of the 21st century
whose the ones money making
and whose the ones suffering
a voluntary suicide (makes money)
all that matters is whats on the outside
forget whats on the inside (give us money)
guess what those advertisements lied
insecurity is what they feed from
so diet pills is what you feed on
anarexia and self hatred is all thats left
corparations grin as they commit indiviual theft
people starving
