Inspired by What do you see #220
with every slight
every command to shutter
my essence diffuses
the thoughtless insults
they hurt
my skin becoming thin
but there will come a time
when enough is enough
when it all comes back to me
using strength and resolve
building from within
i will become whole again
I Write Her 
This is beautiful xx
