Selfie

empty pictures

Mantis girl, all legs and arms,

a mess of open wounds.Too

many mouths open,too many

blank eyes. Femina juvenilia.

A pink heap in front of a

secret room,filled with stuffies

and unread words.No story,

no strings,a body opened like

a bruised pet. You are a shell,

painted, seen but not understood.

You have failed to be immortal.

There is so much truth in this write. The younger generation in my own family are copies of this. Why can't they see the real picture of themselves. Valentine

Empty and hurting inside; nowhere to turn, no-one to trust.

Another reviewer has said this disturbs; so it does, and so it should, there are so many that suffer in this way.

Beccy.

Great write :) enjoy it, i love the imagery.

[Tina Kline]

Impressive write, very powerful images of pain, emptiness and distortion. Too much focus on oneself?
Very impressive writing.

There is something inherently disturbing about this image. Which is obviously what you intended. Remarkable.
