Dot

Based on personal experience a poem about insecurities

I look at the mirrors surface

And even though it holds no flaws

The image it bears to stare back at me

Clutches my insecurities in her jaw

Her eyes are a shade of greenish brown

But they're more than a colour beneath

They tell a thousand stories entitled

Those inked notes she holds between teeth

Her hair curls like flickering flames

The auburn shade of crinkling atumn leaves

Her skin dotted with freckles

That dance over her breast every time she breathes

Her grandma told her they were fairy footprints

But the bullies, they thought not

It's what her DNA determined

Her whole life planned out from the point

of a dot

All our lives are planned out from the point of a dot. Bullies should be treated as criminals and given a jail sentence,i think that way bullying will reduce.

Nice poem.

So, I really love this poem. And it isn't because I can relate to the struggles of a ginger (although I do know you guys get treated like s**t). I love this poem because I could see every detail, even fairies dancing on skin. It had a classical feel to it. And it was beautiful. You have a fan.
