Pretty Girls Don't Bleed by Emily Allison - HTML preview

the difference between you and i -

when the

slightest thing

sets me off,

i feel i get more

accomplished.

when i’m miserable,

i have no motivation.

but when i’m angry,

i suddenly want to prove

all of the reasons that i’m

much more capable

than you care to believe.

a piece of skin

peels back from the

nail bed of my left thumb.

a dull pain throbs as

small blood droplets

seep around the

edges of my nail,

underneath, into,

surrounding,

drowning.

when i

wipe away the

blood, it leaves a

stain, but it’s

nothing i can’t

fix over time.
