Sharpening MAG
April 23, 2014
i sharpened my pencils
Into stubs
And watched graphite bruises
Fall to the floor.
i liked destroying.
i sharpened my tongue
Honed a blade
And watched it cut your wrists
To match mine.
i liked destroying;
It meant i wasn't the only one
Who was destroyed.

WOW this poem is so meaningful, I love the way you drew compared the two. I read some of your work, and I must tell you, you work is amazing!! I love all the meaning you put in... Keep on writing.
