Symbolic

 

The black upon her nails

(That matches the wristband she wears)

Is symbolic for her –

It does not represent her soul,

As some who wear the same believe,

For her soul is shining with love,

Nor does it signify her heart,

Because her heart beats with joy –

It embodies her mind,

Her black, twisted, decaying mind

Filled with

Dark thoughts she cannot shake,

Malevolent ideas she cannot get rid of,

Wicked feelings she cannot throw away.

The polish upon her nails,

Like the strip across her wrist,

Is a cover for all she wishes to hide,

A cloak for all the warped thoughts

That rain down upon her night and day.

Even more symbolic,

In her mind, at least,

Is that the polish is cracked and faded –

The band torn and frayed –

Like her will to live.

Very creative and an entertaining read. Alot of people can relate to this piece which also adds alot of emotion and personal thoughts into the piece. I really enjoyed it. Keep writing.
