Unsettling 21

It makes me sick
The things you’ll let a little girl understand
Just to make yourself
Feel a little bit more like a man
The things you will teach her
Will never leave her
And her blood will never leave your hands


She won’t eat
Cause she knows it’ll make her thin
She will bleed
Cause of where shes been
She will cry
Just ‘cause shes alive
And its all because of you

She’ll believe love is an idea, not a truth
And she will be both lost from and stuck on her youth
And she’ll deserve nothing less than the best
But she’ll despise herself when she sees her naked body undressed
And its all because of you

She will be filled with an unsettling rage
Like a beast trying to be freed from a cage
She will want to rip off pieces of her skin just for fun
But oh no, its not because you’ve won
She knows this last cut will scratch you out
And this last hit will drown out her doubt
And the pills
That will kill
Her
Are her only friends
And she dreams of the end
And its all because of you
