Perfection
Frizzy ringlets of hair,
tamed into thick braids.
Slick hair,
down to your waist,
blowing everywhere.
Too-long bangs,
constantly pushed out of your face.
Loose curls
limp and beautiful.
Full lips,
coated in daily gloss or lipstick.
Thin ones,
bare and chapped.
Some mixture of both,
shining with ChapStick.
Dark skin
freckled with darker spots.
Tan skin, almost orange,
dotted with acne scars.
Pale skin
nearly transclucent,
sprinkled with small tan freckles.
Less than 100
Over 100
150
200
Whatever.
Perfection.
All of you.

Hi there! Most of what I do has repetition in it. Like, a lot of repetition. I mostly write short horror/suspense stories, but I've recently taken a shine to dark poetry. I've also managed to orchestrate a full length novel, but it's still in the editing process. A long, long editing process.
