I Have No Face

I Have No Face

By Elissa Rosenthal




I have no face,
Besides one given to me.

I have no face,
Within this society.

Give me some string,
I will show you a puppet.

Give me some notes,
I will show you a trumpet.

I have no face,
For I am more than outsides.

I have no face,
For I am not lies.

Puncture

Puncture

By Elissa Rosenthal


Scathing,

Writhing,

Structure pronounced as one of the most sound,

Seethes every time it touches the ground.


Electricity wraps and climbs,

Each weak point sought out and entwined.

Elixir comes in slow downs,

Escaping aches by raising off pounds.


Supple softness brings no strength,

Every hard crackle prevents a scrape.

See The Fake Speak The Truth

See The Fake Speak The Truth

By Elissa Rosenthal


Speak the truth they told me,
Whispering away,
Tell the words you know,
Not the ones you want to say.

Speak the truth they told me,
Though they did not want the truth,
The truth was too hard for them,
They would rather have me mute.

Speak the truth they told me,
As I spoke of all their faults,
All the lies they have told,
Building up their walls.

Speak the truth they told me,
As I ripped apart their truth,
The lies they told themselves,
Was making their hearts mute.

Speak our truth they told me,
As they grew sick on my words,
Everyone shaking,
Silent like sleeping night birds.

Speak our truth they told me,
Now coming to a yell,
No longer wanting to hear my truth,
I was opened up to tell.

They no longer hear my words,
As they hold the real truth,
They tell themselves lies,
Then give themselves proof.

They no longer hear my words,
As they hold their lies to light,
They would rather grasp onto lies,
Then letting real truth fight.

Peanut Head

By Elissa Rosenthal

Hello, Everyone! This week is the start of hopefully a bit of a busy future for me so, I did something a little simple for this week's post. I will still be doing projects that take longer to make, however, depending on how detailed they are, they may take a few weeks to complete and show you guys. So look forward to more detailed projects in the future, once in a while, and little characters and other creations in the meantime. 

I love you all and thank you for staying with my blog!

For this week, we have a character I will like to call Peanut Head. This character I did with a very quick exercise where you need to come up with a character sketch in thirty minutes or less. 




 I imagine he is a very enthusiastic character with confidence that everyone envies, even a little bit. Peanut Head puts on odd and brightly colored clothing, makes over dramatic expressions of affection, and wears huge sunglasses to stand out the way he wants to, to draw fellow beings away from his head. The reason he is so self-conscious has nothing to do with his lack of hair, but the shape of his head. When he was younger, it was the main subject for unoriginal bullies of his to tease him. This is why now, whenever his head shape is brought up, he makes it a joke for everyone so others cannot make a joke about it first.


Peanut Head

By Elissa Rosenthal 


My head you understand, so shapely mine,



Came into contact with a ball of twine.



Brown, scratchy, string wrapped around my large head,



The small prickly began to embed.



"Why? Please no!", I cried, "Why do you embed?"



"Because,...", said The Twine, "I want your large head.



I want it to be a peanut instead."



It hurt quite a bit, with a short, slight tug,



Now I look cuter than a little pug.
