what can I do?

(partially) inspired by Björk’s It’s Not Up To You

By angela hepworthPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I wake up

and the day feels

broken

I brush my teeth

until the taste of blood

fills my mouth

I stare at my face

until I cannot

anymore

I brush my hair

should I cut it again?

should I dye it?

what can I do to look better?

what can I do to look good?

what can I do to be good?

what can I do to be good?

what can I do?

what can I do?

what

can

I

do

to be better?
