Ok guys this is an extended metaphorical poem, or supposed to be, for western lit so tell me what you think cuz i have to turn it in. believe me i could find better things to write about than comparing me to an object!

My skin is a kleenex

So soft and so thin
Sometimes lotioned
Sometimes dry
Easily ripped or broke
Easily pulled apart
So weak and fragile
Yet strong to the touch
Often full of color
Sometimes ghostlike
It can smell sweet
But still look plain
My skin is a kleenex
In more ways than one

I think this is just fine to turn in. BUt why is a kleenex sometimes ghostlike? That's all that perplexed me. But everything is great and the ending concludes the whole thing just wonderfully.
nice job!

I think she means that she's as white as a ghost like a kleenex is plain ghostly white.

Hey, does this mean that i could wipe my face on your skin too?   just kidding
