Kagami
-Year fifteen.

Normal girl, tall and slender. Bright eyes and developing body.
But her hands, oh... Her hands were sculpted by something else. Beautiful bones,
Long, pink nails and the skin on her palm smoother than silk.
The veins show a dull peppermint on her snowy skin.
Her thin wrist and delicate movements.

She cracks her knuckles so her sharp joints will show more.


-Year twenty three.

The life she lived previous was pressured by the pollution in the air. ****,
Drugs, and alcohol. She slouches and shivers on a warm summer day,
Huddled in a corner of her house.

Her hands show no more snow. The veins seem shriveled.
Her joints were swollen and unmovable.
Her palms are coarse from rubbing them together and her nails...
Oh, her nails were ****** and torn off. She clawed too much at her neck
As she was held down and suffocated.


-Year twenty four.

*"I am sorry." The note read.

It was a deformed hand. Bite marks on her fingertips, shriveled skin with blotches and sores.
The veins drawn over in pink scars from jagged blades and old attempts.
It was a miracle she could write at all.

She now lays in an open casket. Eyes stare at her contrasted beauty.
Her childhood friend had always loved her hands. He reconstructed them.
A shriveled old body, only twenty four years old, but seemingly ancient.

But her hands, oh... Her hands were sculpted by someone who truly loved her.
Beautiful bones,
Long and pink plastic nails. The skin on her palm made of silk.
The veins are drawn with a dull peppermint pastel on her falsely snowy skin.

He cracked her fingers so her prosthetic joints will move less.
We were told to describe a timeline of either hands or hair of a character in a class today. Since I am not a student yet and had no previous material, this is what I came up with.
All this time I've been writing poetry to make people smile
so why do I feel so sad?
She flew away into the sun
But the wax wings melted her hope
I watched what the world did to him
Leaving scares on his skin
As he tried to be whole again
With all these pieces missing of him

And laying on the bed with
Tears in his eyes
He watched the ceiling fan go round
Letting escape a heavy sigh

He walked through the arch of his door way
And went straight to the bathroom drawers
There he pulled out the razors
Ready to take away more

I watched the world rip him apart
Into unrecognizable shreds
Scaring him on the inside
Letting his outside become slowly dead

Each slice rips away
A little more of your soul
And you don't see it happening
Till it's cost a deathly toll

I watched the world take him away
Not a care in their head
Until my precious him
Was in a coffin, dead

Sir B
I shall step away
from your life
and the life of others
and from the life of
those
who find me stupid
and crazy

in short.
the life of everyone..
Because i am not accepted in anything..
I dont know what to be doing
I am at a loss
for whatever I do correctly
because its always wrong
No one likes being around me either, just gah, my recommendation would be that you do the same..


An old poem..

Kagami
Kiss me,
Hold me,
Tell me it will be okay.
Stroke my skin,
Look into my eyes,
Take me away, even just for a little while.
Sing to me,
Lay on my chest,
Tell me you love me.

Be mine, and I will be yours.
High school will be
The best four years
Of your short
History

But they are wrong
To state these lies
To fill our head with hopes
Just to let them die

It is more like four years
Of mandatory Hell
In small little rooms
With small windows
Where you are told to
Sit and stay
Behave and be quite
Don't speak your mind
Tolerate your peers
Do as we say with no questions asked
Grades are everything
Forget your social life
Your happiness
Mental health and
Well being
It will not matter

High school is beyond
Describable
For I cannot put torment
Into words, it is undefinable
