My Goth Chick: Blood Red

Some time before this year’s ACEN, my daughter Jessica decided to "go goth" and started wearing black clothes, and belts in all kinds of interesting fashions. I wasn’t exactly expecting this, but it’s been really cool to see her express her creativity in this way. She’s always had a very good fashion sense and is an artist with a lot of talent and potential. But up until now, this had been expressed in a relatively quiet and private way. Her goth inspired attire coupled with a (pardon the expression) killer bod, is attracting attention that I did not think I’d have to deal with so soon. Despite that, I’m actually very proud of her and it is with great pleasure (and her permission) that I post a poem she wrote in literature club at school. In a poetry collection where most of the students are writing about video games and fantasy themed subjects, this really stood out.
