Painted on lips
an eternal smile of lead
Eyes that were born still
never to awaken
Blues, reds, and greens, a mixture of colors
bring her to life
There is no beating in her chest
only the wrinkle of paper when she is stirred
But her smile will forever remain
for that is her design.

My entry for the "Slam What You Will Scholarship." It was inspired through my strange reflections as I was browsing through this site. The idea fell into my head, and in that instant I knew I had to add words to the blank white page. I have this dream of becoming a writer someday, and in order to share my ideas with the world for a living, I desperately need the aid of this scholarship.
