“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” ~Einstein


All I see are walking bones,
Elegant and prim;
Nothing more than lifeless forms,
Graceful, yet grim.
Gaunt faces, hollowed eyes,
Hair that’s lost its shine;
Color drained from paper skin,
Figures lost by time.
In this place of walking bones,
Perfection steals your soul;
To be like them-To just fit in,
That’s your lasting goal.
But the mirror scars your heart,
Because it screams what’s true;
You’ll never be the walking bones,
So be yourself-push through.
