"As hard as it is to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world's devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us." ~David Levithan

She did it again, feel the change

My body began to feel like glass

Her wicked ways caused me to age

Chills ran up my body, as time pass

I'm empty, feel my eyes turn to marble

My pinky finger shatters, breaking me

Why must I make this tolerable

Why must I be so blind to see

The pain of the change overtakes

I stare at a doll in the mirror

I have to change for my sake

Can't be her, must be purer

Her name was Anna and I am Belle

Can't escape my porcelain shell

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
