Halloween Orange

[sharpeningthebones]

Name: Charley
Story: No Child Is Spared
Colors: Halloween Orange - 22. Don't be chosen; make the choice to choose.
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Notes: I don't often write poetry and when I do, it's not often good. I don't consider this an exception to that rule but I had one of the liens turning around in my head and I decided to give it a whirl. This is for Wendy and her brother Peter, because they are so very fairytale kids.



She's got a fairytale heart and starlight in her eyes.
She's got stories on her skin and a set of wandering bones.
She's got a past that needs forgetting and a future yet unknown.
She's got a fairytale heart and love in her soul.

She's got stories on her skin and she's got tales to tell.
She's got a life that needs living and a spark to show.
She's got red ruby lips and she's got a raven's stare.
She's got stories on her skin and no place to call her own.

She's got a past that needs forgetting and a story weaved with sin.
She's got a blood stain ad a bandage and no way to get in.
She's got heartache, she's got sorrow, she's got truth in mind.
She's got a past that needs forgetting and a life on the line.

She's got a fairytale heart and a brother calling her name.
She's got songs in her head, stories, poems, rhymes.
She's got nothing to spare but hope and a little time.
She's got a fairytale heart and future to tame.

You're welcome. You did well with this.

It's a good thing to push toward the edge of your confidence. Remember, if you're not making any mistakes, then you're not learning, you're coasting.

Oh, wow, this is beautiful! Totally going in my memories. It's reminiscent of Seanan McGuire, in a really good way, and so lyrical.

*beams* Awwww <3333 that is....kind of more pleasing than it should be. Both of those tings, really.

One day when I get better with music (as in properly learn it at all), I am setting this to music.

That is all.
