What I think Of Me

First Impression of Me

My First Impression (Of Myself)

By Lexi Loge

In the golden ray of sunshine that cascades through the window,the darkness surrounds her like a mourning shroud. The light, bubbly energy of the room dwindles into nothing as it gets closer to her, the world seems to mellow out and fade away into her hazel-green, world-saddened eyes of pain. Her pale skin cuts through the auroa of desperation around her in a glow of unhealthiness. She is the epitome of human sorrow, a vessel to put the troubles of the nation. Her hair is brittle from the stress and strain of holding in a million solutions to problems that nobody seems to care enough about. Her lips are raw from biting them to keep in the words that threaten to form and break apart her only hope at connection to an unruly civilization and her flesh is mutilated from too many nights spent thinking. She can summon demons when she truly wants to, all she has to do is open her mouth and let the words pour out, then chaos will ensue. Suicide would be too good for her, it would only add to the problems in her head, the situations that grow out of control when she walks in and that seem to follow her around wherever she goes. Clinging to her like the proverbial monkey on someone's back is the one and only Conscience, he who holds all the power. Her Conscience nags at her and tells her she should have done better, until she is nothing but a messy broken pile of human degradation.

So raw. Gorgeous, honest language. Makes my eyes sting a bit. Aurora (if thats what you meant, or is it aura) is a really cool image. Holding in all your solutions and checking yourself from lashing out at the world because you love it so much... it's a privilege to read honesty like that! thanks

This is a sad poem, so much pain. You wrote this really well.

Wow. Your work is truly great. I can say that it honestly brought tears to my eyes and that it was something I can, on some level, relate to. I look forward to seeing more of our work.
