GrassHopperGirl~A Poem by NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPolestreaming to a poetic challenge from rem~see author's note for explanation~ =)~Where does a girl place So much craving Does she pour it into liquid eye liner Streamed to her temples Onyx rouge Smeared, a bruise in the center of her disguise Does she bury it in a stack of literature Stories colliding with the crowd At the cafeteria entrance Eyes devouring her unclassifiable existence High school is a b***h With venom in the bones of her corset There are days where they shred her She picks up the pieces and fortifies her boundaries With unbendable grass There are days where they trip her up Trick her up She shakes their blood from the blue of her eyes And casts the iris into gray clouds Remaking them into shades Placing them against a pane of mist glass High school is a b***h If you ain’t one Where does a girl place So much craving She pours it into a tea cup A Japanese bowl For grasshoppers playing her melodies In a flower pot On a windowsill Absorbing every bruise into notes Drinking every hateful word of the day from her pores Reworking her into fresh magik Encouraging her to face another day Rebuilt by a handful of streamlined green grasshoppers Who have made the curls of her chestnut hair their love ground Who have made her Their girl High School is a b***h If you let it be . . . . © 2011 NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPoleAuthor's Note
