Meteor Grotesque

Whispers of torture; “Focus on your schoolwork” mantras

Telling the tale and leading the life one essay to another

“Two essays walked into a bar..” That had to of hurt

So much commentary for how to live a life

Yet people see what they want to see; never whats deeper

A college girl, credit hours at max, computer her life

Different clothing style, proclaimed wrong once again

Odd in appearance, her back like the hunchback!

Though she walks ramrod straight no tell of the scoliosis

Twisted S-shape spine, prodding into flesh

None see the pain it sometimes takes merely to stretch

Scars dot the figures body, not quite visible now, yet prodding

Eyes only see the visible, and dismiss them just as quick- an accident

People laugh, shes the same as always too quite; or far too loud

Yet the loud mask she wears tumbles behind closed doors

“Real time friends” she’s told “should be important, not the invisible.”

But yet don’t they see, most of these people in life, don’t even care?

Sure they laugh and smile, and by chance stay just a little while

But they go home, ignore the girl earlier they called a friend

Yet she doesn’t really care, her online world shes known as a fighter

So strong, she bluntly screams her song, yet shes curled in a corner

Nobody knows, nobody sees, the girl her online does, hurt yet mighty

For truth of the matter, when days are done; silence does win

Sometimes her throats too tired to scream, muscles wont respond

So she twiddles her thumbs and politely smiles, till her back is numb

She wont ever tell of the razor in her pocket, unused for months

Nor of the pain in her back, reminding her with every grimace

The scars are all accident, or so the story goes anyway

Polite smile to brighten your day, though she’s clad in black

Kohl rimmed eyes looking for the moon in the sun

Hugs so simple, don’t you feel how she wishes you wont let go?

But no, shes the one forgotten in timeless lands, a prehistoric monument

Of a woman so strong, yet they don’t see shes dying

So she smiles it all away, pretends nothing is ever wrong

And you’ll keep reading not seeing a girl whose not quite so strong

Because you see, shes imperfection bound, her body and soul; grotesque monstrosity
