Red thread sewn into the veins
Blue thread sewn into the brain
Yellow thread stitched at the palm
Purple thread stitched at the lip
Green thread looped through the thigh
Orange thread looped through the breast
Red for heartbeats she's given to lovers
Who never deserved the blue of her memories
Yellow for the touch she has given
though the purple stains crest their skin no more
Green for mother nature who nursed her
when she could not feel the bright orange of the sun
Re-stitching up this worn out hide
Whose pride has shattered her again
Needles lining her side, like the hands of old friends
They run linear like a single beat score
A broken tattered doll, barely living
But sewing herself up, born to relive
Live with the pains of the threads to others
That will never be forgotten
Live with the acceptance of the scars
On her heart and hands, which will stand as reminders
Reminders that she was once whole
Whole but missing something
Now the threads act as brightly colored decorations to her skin
That say she has been able to stand on her own again
Those threads run along her all alone, no links to a puppet master
She is her on her own, though tattered, still strong
Still beautiful, a broken tattered doll, barely living
Giving life her all
Though she waits for someone to revel
At the sight of her threaded self
She does not sit idle upon anyone's shelf
For she has red threads in her veins, blue threads in her brain
Yellow thread stitched at the palm, purple thread stitched at the lip
Green thread looped through the thigh, and orange thread looped through the breast,
Woven like an artwork through her being,
She stands like a colorful mess, but she is blessed.
