  Perfect

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  The mirror glared at me from the wall, its frame posing a frown. I sighed, picking at my braid until all the stray hairs settled perfectly back into place, and applied my makeup with the most delicate care. Perfect. The word left a rotten taste in my mouth. Assured that not a wrinkle creased my d...

  Dull and Grey

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  Rocks fill the barren wasteland dull and grey set in their scrupulous ways cracked shrouded by emerald vines Until the wind comes and overturns them carries them on its sweet serendipitous breeze sets them down vibrant and dazzling Until time abrades their smooth edges ...

  Stars

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  Stars poke through the ebony folds of night stitched into its soft fabric Tangible they sit curled on the tips of my eyelashes like tears yet to fall Distant I scoop armfuls of them with my eyes until they become entangled with my dreams my slumber saturated with the gentle curve of the m...

  Makeup clings to my face whispering promises of perfection of beauty of shelter from the flaws I cannot change and tempted, I comply only to find my face hidden choked by eyeliner that casts shadows on my eyes and blush that strangles my freckles This new skin doesn't settle qui...

  Found

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  I was enveloped in darkness, my world a shroud of black where not a single ounce of light leaked through. It was warm though, tucked away, hidden in the corners of her little leather wallet. Coins jingled when she stepped, abrading against one another. Every so often her purse would flood with light...

  Hungry

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  Underwater, there is no sunlight, only a thick, ominous wavering darkness that engulfs me like a shadow, wrapping its claws around me like a predator toying with its prey. I want to scream but it’s suffocating me, its hands grasping my neck, squeezing tighter and tighter until I have no breath lef...

  Homeless

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  Each day, I wait patiently outside, hoping but never receiving the glimpse of her I want. I get madder each day, crazier, until my thoughts rocket off the inside of my brain, reflecting off its soft pink walls like a trampoline, looking for an escape route but finding none. Stop thinking, I tell ...

  City Life

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  There were bright lights that cold, frosty December night. They flickered in the windows of the car and I dazed half-asleep at the glow of the city’s neon signs. There were big buildings, towering over our small car like giant Sycamore trees and I stared, half-asleep, at the urban beauty of it. Ne...

  The Pretender

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  I am the pretender, the liar, the faker Plastic skin, plastic lies, plastic life A barbie doll, blonde, skinny, and insecure A ball of clay, molded by other people’s thoughts, dreams, hopes A puppet being pulled in a thousand different directions People’s words mixing, intertwinin...

  Up in Smoke

  

  By watchung123, Westfield, NJ

  It was the last thing she gave to me Before she left, fled, disappeared without a trace Leaving me wondering, thinking, pondering, clueless Where did she go? It smelled of her, Of cigarette smoke and mints swirled together, From years spent of black lungs and yellowed fingers, A string of m...
