Chinese Foot Binding: The Studies of Suffocation

when my nose cries with crimson blood

i will rub that red all over my cheeks

am i pretty yet?

am i pretty yet?

i still bash my bruises, to see if they hurt

but that purple color is just so pretty

ouch ouch ouch!

ouch ouch ouch!

and when the tears are streaming down my face

i can’t help but glance at the mirror to see my anguish

BEAUTY IS PAIN! BEAUTY IS PAIN!

PAIN IS BEAUTY! PAIN IS BEAUTY!
