\"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius.
and its better to be absolutely ridiculous
than absolutely boring.\"
-Marilyn Monroe


I am
A shadow unseen in darkness
A teardrop unnoticed through rain
Fleeting
Passing
Slipping
away
like
A golden dream lost on a dark, dark day

I am
A love note lost in stormy winds
A first kiss that will never be
Gossamery
Apocryphal
Quickly fading
away
like
Dead wilting flowers in a bride's bouquet

I am
A bone-dry thirst that can't be quenched
A child's cry that won't be heard
Invisible
Inhibited
Fading
away
like
All stars going dark in the milky way

I am
Voiceless if you don't speak to me
I can't stand if I'm on my own
Vulnerable
Reticent
Vanishing
away
like
All the world’s colors just fading to gray


The author's comments:
"Evanescent" means vanishing, fleeting, barely perceptible. The title of this poem- "Evanescent" sums up the feelings of the speaker. I am writing for, and about, all those girls who feel alone, who feel incomplete or unseen without someone to love them.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others, for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

Well you told me to be honest, so here it goes. This. Was. BEAUITFUL! Your writing is so honest and true, which is so rare now. Your inspiration for this is so wonderful. I think every girl can relate to this. Don't stop writing! And please, keep sharing with Teenink!
