Beauty Outside Control?
by Kinsey Krachinski
(Image 1 of 3)
Beauty is in my stomach.
Uncrinkling paper,
From dissecting the words,
into torsos,
legs,
like the Black Dahlia.
Holes,
Fused by vicious neuron creatures
While left to try and smooth out scars.
Giving up not because of effort,
But because scars are character growth.
