Kim-e

Hello, my name is Kim-e.

I’m very tiny, and very fragile.

I’m petite with small feet and small hands.

I have smaller fingers and smaller toes.

I have big sad eyes and yellow skin.

I always look tired and terribly scared.

and roll my fingers into tiny fists.

They sweat when I’m spoken to,

And even shake when I talk.

I speak in stutters, that sound more like a whimper than a voice.

I cry alone, and eat alone too.

I enjoy long strolls, and miniature dogs.

I like pens, and markers too.

My favorite shade of all is grey.

I like the sun to some extent, but I believe I was made for fall.

I mostly love things that don’t remind me of anything.

I have a teddy bear with one eye, a square nose and a very happy smile with his tongue sticking out at me.

I used to think he mocked me, so I poked his eye out.

He sticked around, so I took it is a gester rather than a insult.

I like to hum lullabies, and walk all the way through the forest sometimes.

I make creature friends, and sometimes they even sing to me too.

My mommy thinks I’m a bit strange sometimes

But I know she doesn’t mean it when she says I wished I never existed.

She’s really funny.

My brother’s a vegan and eats a lot of mushrooms,

And is really greedy with them

I like to walk barefoot all the time.

But when I get home, the blisters and cuts hurt too much

But Sam, the creature under my bed, likes to lick on them,

they usually feel better after a few licks,

it evens starts to tickle.

I forget why I write.

Sometimes I just get lonely.

Anyway, I hope your summer is just dandy.

When you see a wallflower, I hope you think of me.

Love, Kim-e
