a/n: this isn't very good, I realized ... oh well.
Unlikely.
I can see her peach skin drawing circles in the sand toes dancing on end to no music but the one that plays inside her head and I wish I could touch her hand and tell her how beautiful she is just a baby at thirteen, I think still rips at the seams and still dreams
not like me.
I can see how she graces the world just with her presence how I wish she would grace me for once and how she smiles, it just lights up the room it's beautiful, like her heart it's so filled with everything just the things I wish I had the hopefulness the kindness...
I can see her violet stockings slowly making their way down as she jumps and twirls and cartwheels they slowly slide the closer they are to the dirt, the messier it gets just like my tears, one tiny muddy grain of sand makes a path and I wish I were beautiful like her but she's just a baby at thirteen with her hopes and dreams still capable of being ripped at the seams
so unlike me

Well, it's different from what you usually write. Kinda... In a way I can't really explain. But it's good. It's nice and interesting.
"still rips at the seams and still dreams"
I really like that part. Maybe it's the rhyme... I dunno, but I like it.

I have to say, it's not my favorite by you. It seemed to lack that raw emotion I like so much. It was still there, just not so much. Nothing really put it apart from other things I've read, and I'm not used to that from you. But, on a positive note, it was still enjoyable to read and I did find a few lines I liked very much.
"I can see her peach skin drawing circles in the sand"
I really love the image here, I can see a younge girl doing just this.
"like her heart it's so filled with everything just the things I wish I had the hopefulness the kindness..."
That is a touch of the normal emotion from your poetry, it was strong but simple. Very nice
"I can see her violet stockings slowly making their way down as she jumps and twirls and cartwheels"
The description here is what I liked the most, you didn't simply say her stockings, you added a color, and a very powerful color at that. I think the image of something violet is much stronger then say, something white. I like this, good job.

This isn't one of my favorites by you. You started it alright, you have always had a good way of using visually descriptive words but the ending was a bit off for me.
