Backwards back cracks, He pulls the straps tighter, Her hips bleed sonnets from 1978, A war inside a woman, An unknown battle to the world, It starts at such a young age, No cease fire till you're dead, Paint your lips red, Even though your personality is stale, Because the world stole the word beauty, And printed on a list of cans & cants, Her eyes shadowed bright gold, ***** falling out, Even in the winter cold, They say she will be loved, Loved loved loved, Longing is all she'll ever be.
I saw this poem in the eyes of an 8 year old girl.
