Roll Call
It happened at last, she’s pastel mental
the plastic bubble? That’s just incidental
hide in your shell because it’s safe and cozy
now everything in her wilted garden is rosy
Everything she’s ever done has been a sin
the wall that separates? Impossibly tall and thin
her reality now is sweet and lukewarm
this existence now is purely verse form
Sweet day dreams are brightly opalescent
her condition? Permanently convalescent
at school they taught her how not to bleed
always so pure in thought and word and deed
She’s always known she’s been the one to blame
reflections? It's forever with a sense of shame
someday when they look back upon her life
they’ll find more personalities like a clasp knife

"at school they taught her how not to bleed

Those lines grabbed me and spoke of a tragic loss. Beautiful write.
