Disclaimer: this poem includes self harm and might be disturbing to some readers.

Note to readers: For the ones who don't know, Eleven is this character from the Netflix show, Stranger Things. She has these super cool powers with which she can move stuff with her mind. If you haven't watched the show, and you are interested in sci-fi, I would definitely recommend this show to you!

So, here's the poem:

Sometimes I wonder,
What if I had the power like that of Eleven?

I would do either one of these.
One, I would have physically hurt the ones who hurt me,
creating a massacre with a heap of bloodied bodies.

Two, I would whip myself,
Because each person that I trusted hurt me.
I would wake up with more and more scars each morning
to repeat this vicious cycle
in which I have the choice of hurting others or myself.
And everytime, I would rather hurt myself.
