Hey, fellow readers! This is the last post I shall do until the end of Spring Break. Sorry, but I'm traveling. This is one of my Silver Key winners from the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. Hope you like.

Also, to all the Pagan/Wiccan's: Happy Ostara!!! Late, yes. But never less, enjoy the beginning of Spring!!! 

THAT IS ALL!!!!!

Once you were pure white.

Now no space is clean.

There was once no flaw

left on your ivory skin.

Now it is scarred

with raven-black ink.

You have been crumbled,

scratched, marred with creases.

Messy tattoos trace your spine.

Ink spills bruise your body.

You are the result

of the misuse of words.

It is not your fault

that you have been left

in a hollow metal cage

for the unwanted.
