more than words.

mysterious reflection
masking the true thoughts
of a frightened girl,
      -her ribcage was cluttered with scrap-paper memories
      and a barely-beating heart.

what kind of weed-covered meadow
holds the key to inspiration anyways?
      -a quick fix would be enough to get the thoughts flowing

hiding behind echoes is never the answer.

just a question.. so i did a word count on word and it's 50 words.. but i think it counted the words with a dash as 1 word which hopefully isn't a problem :S
cause I know some people count words with dashes as 2 words.
I can always edit if it needs it

    Nahh, I'll let it slide. It can count as one word, haha, I don't really care.
    Onto your poem:
    Wow. Definitely one of the most powerful ones I've gotten. I love where you took that picture, and how you portrayed it so brilliantly & wonderfully. Incredible, and so creatively penned.
