Animosity

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs.

Charlotte Bronte

The girl
tugs the
frizzy curls,
animosity heating
her actions.

She opts
for torn
out strands
of hair,
rather than
her frizzy
mess.

Tears stream
down her
scratched cheeks
from under
her black shades.

She is
so tired.

She wants
to live 
and love.

But instead,
she is
slowly killing
herself in
depression.

But she
knows that
she cannot
live or 
love without
loving herself.

But what
is there
to love?

Black hair?

Black eyes?

Black skin?
