rain forestA Poem by valerieto the one person i truly loathe.
You wear your sins like peacock feathers
Loud and proud, bold colors Bright against the dim shades of My innocence. As pure and light and white as snow, Fur of an albino rabbit, eyes red, Just like the tiger stripes I painted across my inner thighs. I am going to pluck each feather from your skin, pin it to the wall show everyone who you really are skin sagging in all the wrong places naked, bruised, dirty you are exposed and I have made you this way. You are going to regret The day you did this to me You are going to regret The day you did this to him You are going to regret The days you turned all those other boys' Lives upside down, turmoil, spiralling, Self-destruct in five, four, three, two One. One mistake, that's all it took To get you started on this One thoughtless decision That you decided to make. That led to others, once, twice, Three times, over and over again Growing out of control like Vines in the rain forest in The middle of summer It has a reputation of being beautiful, Just like you But it also is being slowly destroyed, Torn down, uprooted Just like you You will regret this Because when my words And my hands And my friends are the bulldozers, Honey, there won't be a single Tree of dignity left. © 2010 valerieAuthor's Note
