that facestrong unknowing
the lashes
swoop down
on cheeks
scarred with
the ravages
of adolescence
those nights
spent in front
of the mirror
pencil tucked
over the ear
the hair
curls that i
want to bury
my fingers
in
the unhealthy
glow of
the computer
screen
eyes vacant
searching for a
world that
does not exist
