Wow It's been a while But I still feel like a child. Sentiments so mild, But they have created something wild. I'm lost in some strange paradox; Lost in a skunk scented fog, Dazed as I watch days. I see silhouettes of a mundane future through white haze. My #life was never a maze, but my eyes were always glazed. And now, My parents know I can't be saved and so they've finally caved. In summation, I have found myself eternally enslaved.

I seem to have misplaced my brain, Sometimes I howl at the rain. I seem to have lost my mind And then forgotten what I wished to find. I put the grass in the cloud And tried to be loud, But nobody heard the sound As I fell to the ground. I had bruises from the fall, I showed them all. Even when I told them I felt five pounds lighter They just laughed and told me "then put your pants on tighter".

Skinny Where has the weight gone that was there before? What was once healthy is now bones, no more. When they tell her she is "skinny" she ticks like a clock, All she wanted was to be pretty as her face she fears they mock. To her food was a blanket, it kept her warm when she was cold. She gave up #life for "pretty" so her body she could mold.

Braces They made my mouth into their ball of clay, My teeth are now anchored and bound. Then in my mouth their fingers play, what oddities they surround. They fixed what was crooked and broken and tied all the loose knots tight, But now my smile is lost, inside of an even bite.

Memoir As annoying as I am about to be, has anyone written a memoir in the past that they are willing to share? I need some examples to help me write my own as I prefer to write creatively as opposed to structured...
