Pieces Of Me

By Lindsey & Claire on May 12, 2010

The title says it all, Pieces of me is written by the wonderful Hermia. Using strong emotional words and polaroids (she must know we love them too much at Ballad Of…) She has told us all about herself! Check out her blog too, its a treat for sore eyes!

Oh and she has the CUTEST submission form for people to send in their secret stories & diaries! We will definately be keeping an eye on that! It’s right up our street

I am Eyes.
Eyes that have seen smiles, seen frowns, seen lies.
Eyes that have crinkled with laughter and with pleasure when you tell me I’m beautiful.
Eyes that have poured tears until there were none left.
I have been framed by charcoal, but still sparkle in the darkness

I am Ears
Ears that have absorbed the most wonderful melodies.
Ears that have soaked up the whispers of your voice.
Ears that have tried in vain to block out harsh words and goodbyes
I had heard so many lies that I could scarcely believe it when you said you loved me.

I am Fingers
Fingers that have clutched each other for safety
Fingers that have felt the rough comfort of an old novel
Fingers that lace through your hair and sketch invisible messages on the back of your neck
I have discovered secrets

I am Hair
Hair that hides the truth
Hair that offers protection
Hair that has been moulded by other people’s expectations
I can’t keep up the pretence

I am Clothes
Clothes that hint at the unspoken
Clothes that express my hopes
Clothes that reassure and soothe
I am a mask

I am Lips
Lips that guard my thoughts.
Lips that have betrayed my soul
Lips that have moulded themselves to yours and fought unconsciously against others
I have tasted ghosts and the sweetness of memories

I am ….

I am every emotion and every thought
I am every action
I am every regret, every memory, every spark
I am undefined
I am Me
