This is how bleeding leads to beauty

She said from the bathroom floor

sopping up blood

Still hungry for more

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

He said from the scale

Desprate to lose weight

despite his slim figure

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

They said from the sink

Filling up a glass to drink

Instead of eating dinner

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

I said from the register

Pouring all my savings into makeup

To hide my shame

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

She said from the floor

Pulling hair from her head

She said it eased the dread

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

He said from behidn the bottle

Pouring another glass

Drunk out of his mind

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

She said as she zipped the body bag

A girl dead from her actions

But at the funeral

No one would know

How she felt in her last moments
