She wants to take an acid bath
To filter out her former face
To burn and bake the flesh beneath her makeup mask
She wants to kill the girl crying in the glass
Zooming in on every blemish she can’t erase
She wants to take an acid bath
She wants to shed her skin into the trash
To cut it out, to leave no trace
To burn and bake the flesh beneath her makeup mask
She wants to hide in an oven like Sylvia Plath
To feel more alive than a void and vacant space
She wants to take an acid bath
She wants to finish in a place that’s not last
To be absolved of every regret and disgrace
To burn and bake the flesh beneath her makeup mask
She wants to excel in her every task
She wants someone beautiful to take her place
She wants to take an acid bath
To burn and bake the flesh beneath her makeup mask
