Don't you worry


Don't you worry 

you are flawless

not a speck nor fleck

caressing your bony cheeks

the fissures of your parietal lobe

quite exquisite in form

the jawline structure

superb in every way

and what a magnificent nasal cavity

you must've had a phenomenal face

but then again you are dead

isn't it silly to worry about wearing mascara when you're 15

we'll all be a pile of calcium one day 

flawless unto death
