A long straight line of silk,
The stringed symbol of unification that drapes in front of the ravishing temple of beauty.

Under-constructed bodies like buildings will never dare hold a torch to the flame that is possessed between those legs of a real body.

Will the mounds of flesh that sit,
Trapping the walls of their beating heart
collapse and show who they really are?
Mass mushed in certain areas create the alluring effect of a dashing silhouette.

Demonstrating the resemblance Mother Nature didn't want to share with all.
A select few will do.
Mother gave them bumps and hills,
while some get plainly drawn.

Appease the eye of the wolf,
But then get shamed once it decides to bite your virginity off.

Welcome to the world of the ones that don't get ****** off.
This poem was created for the soul purpose of reflecting societal expectations for women, and a very disgusted view of how the bodies are depicted and judged. This also caters to men, for they are humans too and get judged for things such as virginity.

Tiny Strings
Basil G Jul 11
I want to succeed.
I really do.
I want to become a surgeon,
And help people get out of their blood drawing rules.

Something is stopping me though.
Something I can't quite explain.
You see there's these strings tied in knots all over my veins.
They refrain me from feeling emotion.
They hurt me and pull when I try to do something in motion.

I am tied by these putrid strings,
Tied by the negligence of a once loving parent.
Pulled tighter by the mind that holds my own morbid thoughts.
I am tied to a string of moths.
Each problem lighting a flame.
Attracting these bugs into my brain.

No longer a little girl,
But now a scared teen.
What will happen next?
Will my attempts tie these seams?
These seams of failure,
Comparison to the next.
Failing is a disease we all lay next to wishing to fret.

I am devoid of emotion,
Feeling of human contact.
I crave skin to rub on mine.
Flesh to dig in,
Please, feel every bone sticking out my spine.
Let it sink in your skin within.

These strings don't allow these feelings to awake.
Only allowing my mind to make them up.
That's all I get,
Just a mere sense of life.
A tiny pluck.

These strings don't allow me to live.
So, I live in my brain.
Playing imagination in my head all day.
And I will try to ignore the failure that seeps its way and pins.
Tying itself to my veins,
And sewing itself in.
Hello! This is my first ever poem on here. I wrote this out of a feeling I am growing sick of. I am 14. What do I do?
