Creative Writing

She closes her eyes and begins to write the words of her story into her skin; plot thickens; affixiated with self- mutilation
 So she watches as her veins cry dripping red tear stains all over her sheets & only then can she see and feel her words coming to life
Smiles even though its been awhile; Something about the pain makes it all seem so surreal and in the end.. bittersweet
Eyes enclosed with barren tear ducts; and pursed lips
 The only words uttered are between her hand & razor as she carves her masterpiece
Her skin screams with each stroke but her pain tolerance holds her rationale hostage allowing her to keep writing; and in time everyone will read her story without ever hearing her speak
     Creative writing is stained on her
                   sheets

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
