prince [[..fucking..]] charming is pulling her hair too tight tonight
with his fingernails digging into her {{bump and grind the bone away}} hips
she licks the lipgloss off her lips
because it’s sweet - sweet - sweeter
than she is
\n/e/e\d/l\e/s/ and \p/i\n/s/
pretty little lapdance princess
hotpink glitter band-aids up the inside of her fragile, bird-boned wrists
the lace on her legs is clinging to the watercolor bruises
{{tight enough to remind her every o.t.h.e.r minute of what she’s done}}
and that she isn’t the world’s most careful little girl
plastic and silicone sweetie-pie
scissors snipping dotted lines
-------manufactured one-hundred-percent {synthetic} disaster diva suicide
skirt pulled up to her striped//candycane thighs
she’s wearing it too small by a size
to remind herself to force a smile
[wide enough to s ha tte r your jawbone]
[but shaky enough to tell him that she won’t say no]
choking on “i love you’s” with a mouthful of candy hearts bleeding a
r a i n bow down the back of her throat
Shooting ::: pixie dust ::: and ||drunken// giggles through toxic blue veins
another bloody nose d.r.i.p.s… to the floor to
bleed away the latest rage for pain
cock the gun to her head and call her perfect as she’s
laughing much too fucking ( ( (loud) ) )
but painted pouting crosshatch# lips form words without any sound
because the bass is turned up and they can’t hear the crunch as the tile meets her knees
all this beautiful tragedy needs is a soundtrack of her
screams
but baby’s always been this pale
[[ever since the surgery]]
{{she’s supergirl}}
and supergirl is a whore
spaghetti straps slipping off plastic barbiedoll shoulders
covered in smeared-lipstick-butterfly bruises
and contusions
&& -s-cars
maybe tonight, she’ll get her beautiful end {on the way to the morgue in his car}
but before she bites the bullet and cuts the palms of her hands
on the glass on the floor
she’ll blow a kiss to every {girl-pants-bangs-in-his-bloodshot-eyes) boy in the room
because they don’t talk back when they’re drunk
hey {baby} {sugar} {sweetheart} {slut}
no one likes a teenage fuckup
xoxo

This is definitely one of the best writes in this genre I've seen.
"hotpink glitter band-aids up the inside of her fragile, bird-boned wrists
the lace on her legs is clinging to the watercolor bruises"
--I love the wording you used. You seem to take artist words (watercolour) and make it seem dirty.
"cock the gun to her head and call her perfect as she’s
laughing much too fucking ( ( (loud) ) )"
--f-f-fucking brutal. This is absolutely fantastic. You kept the reader's attention through the entire thing and the ending was perfectly executed. Well done!

amazing.. this is something.. some sort of feeling ive been looking for forever with my poetry. mine comes out a little more, wispy and depressing. this was just raw, candy, bleeding, glitter, dust, sex, drugs, violence, bitter, sickeningly sweet, reality.. beautiful. i think you ended it at just the right time. it just leaves me on those last words.. im a teenage fuckup. and this kind of hit home with those last few lines.. great job.

you say you could have gone on forever. i could have kept reading forever. this is one of the best poems i have EVER read. amazing!! and the ending, oh the ending was PERFECT! maybe it's just because i can relate, being classified as a teenage fuck-up by certain people, but this was fantastic.

Aww, thanks!

Holy Shit! Well I am perfectly well depressed now, thanks! This is a beautiful poem that is beautifully written. A very sad and depp poem with plenty of meaning that requires reading two or three times. And while being a truly sad poem I am happy that it was written so well and that you shared it with all of us. Good luck in the contest!
