“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” -Sylvia Plath

She was beautiful, even compromisingly so
And when he murmured the words into her hair, she could only look at him with blank eyes, her lips turned down slightly at the corners
For she could not see the sunlight shining through her scars.
