Ice

Fingers are like icicles

furry mittens

cannot warm

them

 

I’ve never known warmth

ice water

circulates within

me

 

See past my eyes

into my

blue icy

core

 

I’m not a menace

to anyone

I’m avoided

always

 

I am called cold

given space

not included

ever

 

Ice queen, not I

I’m just

afraid to

feel

 

Life broke me early

shattered me

into ice

crystals

 

My world became cold

controlled winter

blizzard conditions

always
