Magnifique

A Poem by Ashleyx

Make me over in diamonds found in common places

Tear me up and bury the pieces,

The mirror is a little over a thousand shards, marking a trail to my grave


I am broken toes in ruby slippers

Following the trail a witch has lain out

I am the auburn hair of the psychopath, sewn into a wig

Accented with a golden tiara


Make me over in silks from the worms beneath my feet

Rip open my scalp and let the thoughts pour out,

The mindless are a little over a thousand, ushering my path towards the chapel


I am staring out with blinded eyes

At sunsets of black and white

I am the fingertips without sensation, 

Touching the napes of virgin necks


Dotted lines along the imperfections of a young girl 

Who wants to walk the runway, with broken toes and golden tiaras

The chaos of the flashing lights will dull the sunsets until she is blind

This was a very well written poem, In fact I was surprised.
Critiquing this will be hard.
You said "I am staring out with blinded eyes"
Then in the last line you said "dull the sunsets until she is blind"
I get the feeling you switched who's body you were purposefully sticking to.

The poem is very strong. A lot of statement stood out.
"I am broken toes in ruby slippers
Following the trail a witch has lain out"
Sometime unreal things can be put upon us. Better to walk away from the group and find a safe and happy path. The poem made me feel sorry for the girl. A outstanding poem.

Very surreal, like a dreamscape.
