[ january nineteenth ]

by Ava Blu

this woman walked up to me
and asked me to pull my hair back,
to lift up my bangs
so she could get a better look at my face;

she said, "you're hiding your beauty behind this hair"

and walked away.

Author's Note: I wanted to tell her yes, yes I am hiding but no, no it isn't beauty; it's this line of reasons to live away from everyone, to keep running so no one ever has the chance to tell me I'm ugly.

Anyone who does tell you is retarded.
