"Sick and pale but Strangely alive Broken blood vessels Line my cheeks Reflections look bad And somehow unreal"

Broke blood vessels sounds like bulimia. After purging a lot, you can pop blood vesssels in different places. It sounds really obvious but that's just my two cents, for whatever it's worth.. :P
