Tattered Hope in a Cracked Sky

By Mistress Morbid

Look at me
I am the perfect
image of depravity
tattered blonde hair
and empty slate eyes
only gives a glimpse
into the unkown
beyond my reality
a fragile porcelain doll
that would crack at
the slightest touch

-Don't leave me-
It's so cold in here

A think tank filled with
so many thoughts of
yesterday::today::tomorrow
the flashing of warning
signs beckoning for me
to stay away

I doubt myself everyday
'Am I really going to succeed?'
'Do I really know what I am doing?'

Sanity is a tear drop away
and ironically enough, I am all dried out

Why must someone be so ashamed of who they are and how they think?

Why must I be so ashamed of being alive?

Differing perspectives often annoy me, but they are necessary, I look at you and see a perfect image of beauty...but who am I to judge...

If it's worth anything at all to you, then I am proud of you and all you have achieved and will yet achieve, for without your past we would not have met and that indeed would have been a shame...

Does anyone know what they are doing? Really? I know I don't, lost in a sea of faces and expectations I never sought...I am ashamed of me in certain ways, but there is always something to be proud of, even if it isn't you...
