A Eulogy, She Whispers;

Pt III

Etymology of Starvation

Hannah Kolar

Fingers

So desperately

Delicately

Laced from hip to hip

Compare the

Tightly drawn skin of the

Idol; the

Model;

The

Hero

Sickeningly

Seething

With reality

Perceived

So

Clearly; twisted;

Wrenching a

Little girl from the

Naïve

Age of

Innocence

Thrusting her

Frail heart into a

Cruel

Conception of

Perfection

But now;

She flees

She escapes

She sees;

The

Removal of scales;

So thick across

Pupils

So long

Blind

She

Is the

Fighter

She

Refuses to

FAIL

Tears;

Forbidden in the law of

Control

Precision is the key to a

Strength

Unmatched by her

Past

She

Must

Win

The muscle of

Existence

The

Heart

Ever so

Valliant

Begins to fail

Unfortunately

For her waning

Resolve

Failure is not

Optional
