Poem about standing from the crowd
I wrote this poem for a writing class assignment. As a class we came up with 12 words that we had to try to incorperate into our poems. This is what I came up with. Enjoy!


Focused Spotlights

You’re an aristocratic ladybug
among common beetles.
You’ve severed yourself off
from the everyday
keeping your distance
from the eyes
that cut you like razorblades.
Their stares are like salt to a gash.
They watch you bleed
expecting your blood to pour out violet.
