I’ve forced the sharp pain of a needle under my left eye
and drew the image of a tear drop there.
You ask if I’ve killed someone
and my response is yes (check) and no (ex).
Would society (1) C (2) O (3) U (4) N (5) T
as a possible killer(?), or would they just blame it on
me, myself, or I?
Yeah, you may be able to SEE me,
but my thoughts no longer exist- even though you never really cared about them
anyways.
I loathe the way you so gallantly strut
towards the ones with a    g      a    p    between their legs,
charcoal coloured ink above and over their long eyelashes,
and a size six(6) waist,
or the ones with muscled abs,
and biceps that you can’t wrap your hands around.
Anyone who is even remotely like me- (aka) a disgrace to you-
have pale skin, like a phantom’s, from hiding in a dark lair that is our room,
and don’t have the body shape your saliva drips
for. Maybe I will disappear.

This poem isn't in its original format. It was a piece for my writing class using avant garde.

This is real- very real. I know some people out there do care, but sometimes it just doesn't feel like it. Society is out there, telling us who they want us to be- and really, they want people to all be the same. We all need individuality, but we can't do that if the suicide rates keep going up and up because people are telling girls that they are ugly because they're overweight, or they don't have natural beauty, but everyone does have natural beauty. Just because someone doesn't find you beautiful, doesn't mean that everyone else will find you ugly. My mum always tells me that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I really love the way this was written. Very beautiful, thought out, and relatable. It got me thinking, which is an important thing in writing. Beautiful job.
