Summary

I finally took the time to record some of my poems that I think were worth recording. They're old, but I like them. Let me know if you like them, too. words: You count smiles like scars, love to keep inventory of every object and every stare and you remember every person who has ever complimented you. You think they must see something you never can. You look for hours, analyzing freckles and follicles, seeking some magical mark that makes them like you. You look for a smile that they will like, and you count scars like stars like constellations of freckles and you wonder how many people inventory themselves like you. One nose, sensitive, two eyes, astigmatic, two lips, lightly used, arms, wrists, scars, scars, scars, twenty-four ribs, two breasts, one belly, two hips, two full thighs, you could stand to lose some weight, when are you going to work out again? Two knees, two calves, two feet, scars, scars, scars. Scars on wrists, scars on hips, scars on thighs, and scars on lips. There’s not a part of you that you haven’t hurt to see if it would bleed, there’s not a part of you that you haven’t made bleed. You used to start fights in school, used to pound your knuckles into something solid so you could feel the skin breaking with your heart, because at least then, you had a hurt that would heal.

    Description: Before she met Nicholas, all Emily cared about was shopping, and she believed her teachers when they told her the vampires had made the world a better place. After falling in love at first sight, Emily's mind was opened to the harsh realities brought about by the worldwide alliances between vampires and humanity at every level of society. Nicholas was leading the charge in the fight against injustice, cruelty, slavery, and tyranny by the elder vampires, and Emily found herself suddenly caught up in a movement that stood for the rights of both humanity and a new generation of vampires who'd been tricked into giving up their natural rights.Doing everything she can for the cause comes second only to following her heart as Emily tries to win the affections of a young man whose first priority is saving the world. She follows Nicholas back and forth across the country, into the heart of the nation's vampire-run Capitol, and beyond. She risks her health, sticks out her neck, sacrifices frie
