Similar Storys

the pencil moves smoothly
gliding across the paper like a swan on a lake
i try to keep the gray from smearing
but it smears onto my barely tanned hands too
if i look close enough to the white i can see the indents in the design
but that is not what im paying attention to
the little details must be perfect
adding human characteristics to anime
the girl that im creating looks to me
her eyes full of hurt
that wansnt my goal
her mouth in a slight frown 
as if shes kind of scared
am i accidently portraying myself here?
as her features become more detailed
as her body takes shape
her story can be created in my mind
her hair flows down to her shoulders
bangs cut across
and she seems to have a tear 
about to spill over the brim of her eye
at least we arent twins
but i have a feeling
she shares a story similar to mine
