the tall woman

Notice of absence from NinjaGirl
Hi everyone! I have been gone for a while, I don’t know if any of you all have noticed, but I apologize for not leaving a notice anyway. I will be gone for a while. I am not done writing poetry, and I have not given up. But I will be away for some time. I expect to return around 2028. Not sure if any of you guys will see this, but thank you for reading my poetry. Please do not worry, I will be okay! I look forward to returning!

I saw a figure

A women maybe

Was tall and skinny

Fragile like an icicle

Striking in her presence

The mask she wore

Was terrifyingly beautiful

As she said to me

"Don't you know

you're my creation

imperfectly perfect"

I stared at here

Alone this cold night

Falling to my knees

Cold stone concrete

Dug into my skin

"Why do you hate

on what I've made?"

I look down, sorry

But then I'm angry

I try to speak but can't

She reads my mind

"I told you

It's all for a reason

stop ruining yourself

you're perfect"

But I know I'm not

So I let the concrete

Tear into my skin

She reaches to grab me

Swiftly and firmly

Pulling me off the ground

A tear rolls out from her mask

And she lets me down

And then she's gone.

    A metaphor perhaps? A mirror of some part. A hanunting write that gives me shivers

    That is a haunting write that made my hair stand up, nicely written.
