"Self Image" Original poem by Lolita Lynn


Self Image

She’s cold and distance, shows no emotion

She hears loud and clear through all the commotion.

She may not understand but she listens well

Will her wounds ever heal? Only time will tell.

She absorbs everything happening around her

She reveals nothing of what hurts or astounds her.

She is very quiet but has plenty to say.

When you look into her eyes she doesn’t look away.

She doesn’t enjoy pain and avoids it when she can

But when pain comes from him it’s like quick sand

Fast and furious with no remorse

The only thing she thinks to do is cut off the source.
