It can be hard to wash off the dirt.

A poem for while you wait for me to write more porn. :3


Hands aren't meant to feel this weird

I'm not meant to spend all day looking

They're not meant to rash

They're not meant to bloody

They're just supposed to be,

Another part of your body

That we use as tools,

To try not to damage

Too delicate, but somehow we manage

To heal,

To come back,

No matter how it's stacked.

But some of us lose our hands:

An amputee,

Or an escapee,

Because sometimes we

Move on

To something only drawn

But it's not better, it's just new

It's cute, it's fun, yes,

But it's not all you.

But still I wish

That it could find my fate:

The one written in my palms

And straighten out my traits

To something pure and good,

But it's plain to me

No matter what I see

There's still just skin beneath.
