Picture Me


Picture Me

Almond Shaped Eyes

one that sympathizes with the evil filled world;

OVER THEM

The Black Square Shaped Glasses

hides the fact that they would face it;

ABOVE IT ALL

Black Straight Eyebrows 

That slightly rises when peaked with curiosity;

TO THE MIDDLE

Slightly Flat Nose

that tries its best to point itself in the right direction;

ABOVE THE CHIN

Full Cupid Lips...

one that pursed when hesitating;

HIDING BENEATH 

The Off White Munchers

who sometimes come out when faced in an awkward situation;

SURROUNDING THE OVAL SHAPED HEAD

Long Thin Dark Brown Hair

that lays lifeless hoping to one day puff out to something bigger and better;

HIDING BENEATH

Cute Small Ears

that peek out when trying to listen to all of the world's stories;

DOWN BELOW

Vulnerable Pale Neck

who houses the voice that rust overtime due to little use;

BELOW MORE

A Petite, Slightly Curved Body...

not sure of what straight direction is the right path;

TO THE SIDES

Small, Skinny Arms

that try to reach the stars but never quite make it;

AT ITS ENDS

Long Nicely Manicured Hands... 

itching to create wonders;

DOWN MORE

 Short, Strong Legs

that is constantly moving in aimless circles;

TO THE GROUND

Two Slightly Wide Feet...

tippy toeing up when walking to hide this human's short stature;

This is me; Can you imagine it?
