snapshots
of liar liars
cracked upon
faded skin;
as rough as
the jagged
pictures
that I cut
out of
notebooks
all the while,
pasting them
on walls.
covering up
the scratches
of a failed
escape from
my lonely
prison.

So sad
Your poem is sad.
Look back but look to the future.
I have to do that myself.

that was really great! I know you've been feeling like you lost your touch as of recent, but this piece proves you still got it! I loved the last stanza especially. I could see this girl trying to claw her way out of her room. Beautiful deary!
