Poem Title:
Poem
Raised to believe she was beautiful and special a look in the mirror reveals a ferocious beast, with empty eyes and a sinister smile. Wicked thoughts fill the head of the angel in disguise whose eyes used to sparkle until she became addicted to booze and her best friend Mary Jane. Origami swans fill every nook and cranny. Origami creations, folded neatly from paper, hold a special meaning to the girl who is addicted not only to Mary Jane, but heroin, that ferocious beast that goes around stealing lives like the one of that angel in disguise, turning even the most innocent people into wicked monsters who care only about themselves. Wicked hangovers don't stop her from making origami swans because they take her back to the days she was an angel, when her mom and dad loved her, told her she was special. Now when they see her, they weep at the beast she has become and long for the days before she was addicted to Mary Jane, heroin, LSD. They wonder how she became addicted to so many things when the little girl they raised didn't have a wicked bone in her body. They wonder who the beast is that wrecked their daughters life. Origami swans, folded carefully, precisely, for someone special. Every nook and cranny full, she fills bags full for her angel, wanting to give the most amazing gift to her angel, the gift of time. Time is all she has on her hands. Addicted to shrooms, Mary Jane, booze, she knows she is nothing special, she longs for the days before that wicked man came along and taught her how to fold origami swans while smoking weed, snorting coke, turning her into a beast that nobody wants to be with. Now that she is a beast she can't be with her daughter, her angel. Her daughter loves swans. It is her daughters birthday. Origami swans are all she folds, until her fingers bleed, addicted to Mary Jane, she smokes herself to oblivion all because of the wicked man who never made her feel special. The wicked man who got that angel addicted to Mary Jane, and taught her to make origami swans was her boyfriend Bobby, the beast who never made her feel special.
