Webstar
Poem
Picture...Rainbows tattooed onto blue skies that cross roads with rose
petal gardens. Picture...Inhaling oxygen filled happiness where smiles are
contagious, Na na na wait
Picture... having mind changes within changes, where people try to change
you but cant seem to jigsaw your puzzle, so your unsolved like a
crossword, so they cross words to word "weird"
This was once the world for her. See once upon a time she kept pushing
back life but life has a way of pushing back backs that cant seem to
stand up straight. Different have always been her best makeup but it
tends to pierce through her mind like how laughter inserts itself into
slaughter or like how listen cages in silence.
I heard different strumming on the strings of her vocal chords but
courage died on the tip of her tongue. Classmates class mates to clash
mates into cast mates. The took the hands of individuality and broke it
so that when you look at it, it spells dual meaning pair, meaning two,
meaning the same
They tried to break her down to make her broken cause they know
that… shards of glass could never be pieced back together, broken smiles
could never be pieced back together, fractured souls could never be
pieced back together when the most important piece isn't at peace so the
pieces doesn't fit.
But she is the genesis to unique. She is she, I am me, weird is normal,
normal doesn't exist, and they are.....the same.
Picture.... your name being Webstar because your a live definition of
what it means to be YOU
Picture...putting the "I's" in identity because you cant live life as a
copy, when the printer is broken.
