Black Painted Nails
Free-verse Poetry...
“Why won’t you let me wear the black?”
She always said it was the kids down the street
They always wore black
Just black
She said I don’t need to be like them
But I do
I need to hide how I really feel
So I paint
Smooth black polish covering the cracks
Making me look strong
Like the kids down the street
My first free-verse poem. I have moved this over from "Figment.com", where I have many other poems I am currently moving over here. Any honest critiques are welcome!
