Mr. Omniscient

Tear coated eyes,
Silver, dead, cold eyes,
Pale painted skin,
Crooked broken, blood oozing nose,
Scars and scabs lie three inches away spread throughout the body,
Rough, dirty, cut infected blood smeared hands,
Hands that look as if they were punching brick walls,
Legs that look as if they endured long falls,
Bruises,
Scars,
Blood,
This is the look of my life,
Hurt outside,
Ugly outside,
Dead outside…

But inside…
I don’t think so.

Mr. Omniscient,

Sounds like an interesting fight.  I hope you won.  What does the other guy look like?

I read your poem and I decided what I would like to post in reply. Then I read Roberts reply and it was identical to what I had thought to say. So, ditto........
