A Brief Description

There is a zit on the end of my chin;

it is round and red and raised.

It hurts when I touch it so I touch it;

I ground myself with the pain.

There is a dimple next to my mouth;

it is dented and deep and diagonal.

It shows when I talk so I talk;

I free myself with the words.

There are freckles across my cheeks;

they are organized and outrageous and orange.

They brighten when I tan so I tan;

I decorate myself with the sun.

There is green in my eyes;

it is viridian and vibrant and varied.

It changes when I cry so I cry;

I contrast myself with the water.
