she lopped off all of her hair
and pierced her very own nipple
but couldn't dye her hair any darker
because she was asian
the red scribbles
on her wrists
were for decoration
and her black clothes
were only there
to hide her virginity
when her skin wrinkled
and became tissued paper
she tore it away and wore it
so that they'd hear her crinkle
and they'd watch her tear
they'd see how old she'd become
how grown up
and how drunk
with the only boy
who she thought
she could have
she made it
and reveled in their bodies
and in their adolescence
she bit herself
and bled on him
he wouldn't forget her
neither would her parents
or the ones she watched
those ones that she'd calculated
or the girl who was afraid
or the boy who was too good
them and her
and her
for them
