Carved to Perfection
Small flakes from the sky
carved so delicately,
Pieces of ice
of which I envy so jealously.
So perfect and unique
drifting down from the sky,
I hold out my hand as it
melts in front of my eyes.
As a little kid
they fascinated me so much,
Now in my eyes
they were hated and such.
Looking around
so many new fashions,
I was lost as a nobody
losing the passion.
Buying Teen Vogue and Allure
and spending hundreds on makeup,
I craved to be like them
When would I wake up?
It hurt a bit
when I pierced tongue,
I stared in the mirror
What had I done?
Small flakes from the sky
carved so delicately,
Pieces of ice
of which I envy so jealously.
Each one so perfect.
I want to be perfect too.
