Self Portrait


Skin like frozen glass 

Eyes in pewter casts 

My mouth writes an open invitation 

For you to explore 

The caverns these thoughts came from 

 

Opulecent iris 

Opaque navy eyelids

Curtains of auburn straw 

Frame my every flaw 

 

You see the hand painted plaster 

I see the impending disaster 

As I melt and fray 

At my wall 

You chisel away

Hey everyone, I'm a very thoughtful and introspective aspiring writer. I've gone through some heavy stuff and writing helps tremendously and I joined powerpoetry to keep me inspired and going and help deal with the demons. I love music, making independent short films and music videos and of course writing.
