AN: Another free verse, I'm so sorry, they are addicting. There's a little bit of swearing, nothing major, in this one.
Your eyes are beautiful
like shining stars
( or some shit like that )
you never admired them before
( the way they glow, magical )
because, before, your skin wasn't
( you weren't )
so goddamn ugly
.
..
Hide your face
in your mother's skirts
( he can still see you )
you can close your eyes
and shut out the world
but it's still there, waiting patiently for you to see
E v e r y t h i n g
.
..
And you know it's a little more than selfish
but you can't help it
you know it was brave
and good
and right
and just
but it cost you what you valued most
your b e a u t y
so, to you,
the fighting wasn't worth it
.
..
And all those bodies lying
( sostill )
knocked a little sense into your empty head
because you realized
( finally )
that you could, maybe, d i e
.
..
But your eyes
those glimmering orbs
aren't scarred
bruised
bloodied
they shine with a feverish gleam
but they aren't mangled
and there is something in them
( what's that? )
