WRITING OBSTACLE
Create a scene that shows the readers how a character embodies both of the following words: sharp and tender.
Pretty Freak
Run away pretty little freak.
Why do you laugh instead of scream?
Why do you grin rather than weep?
You are not the way you appeared to be
when I watched you through your window
when I knocked on your bedroom door.
I’ll die too, but I’ll drag you with me below.
I’ll take your teeth till you can’t smile anymore.
Your blood will drip from the tree where you’ll hang
and I’ll drink it just to know how it tastes.
I don’t know how I started or what I became
No one will miss you, you’ll be erased
But they’ll laugh when they find you
and smile when you’re in the ground
Because the freak you are is all they knew.
You were always lost, never found,
and the space you inhabit was never real
Is it possible to kill someone who didn’t exist?
It won’t hurt you if you can’t feel
You were never loved and won’t be missed
