Assignment

No Comparisons-
Green, unnatural walls curve inward for two feet. Topped with a fabric I don’t understand, this testament to coming of age stands tall even in the St. Mary’s air. It stands for everything the rebellious adolescent dreams of gaining when the law predicts that the mind can comprehend. Eye pleasing coordinations hide it’s natural beauty. I wish it wasn’t forced to conceal itself. Lyrics to the song of those who have already walked on don’t reflect the truth it pleads to tell. But still, it never wavers from it’s duty. An unsteady base causes the relic to dance in an angry fashion, and I can’t help but follow. I’m glad that someone has clothed it, though. Now it doesn’t seem so unruly.

Comparisons-
Your reflection is unlike that of your siblings, but that doesn’t make me love you less. While we find them behind doors unopenable, you stand proud by the welcoming bell. Your body is unlike that of shark skin, but follows the lines of a seal’s edges. What a shame it is that you have been betrayed by someone unknown. I still find your grace overwhelming. A crack to the side like a whole in the heart, but you’re not one to wear it on your sleeve. Your lengths are tattooed with words that mean little to me and even less to you, but you never let them slip. If you could dream, or if your dreams could be heard, I bet they would be filled with trumpets and ribbon for you would be the sort of dreamer who would smile and crave the laughter of others.
