Ripsime

The Touch of a RAZERBLADE...

A smooth handle with a powerful tip
Fell right into my hands
Why me from all the people did it choose
To suffocate and destroy my plans

I had plans to expand and spread my love
To start a new journey, walk, and run
Toward a fitting glove, but the excursion
I dreamt for no longer existed anymore
It haunted me for several years
And threw me back on the dirty floor

It was my side kick devil
It eliminated the good angel
And became part of my life
The life that was judged by a single
Touch of almost like a knife

I woke up every morning for
Last three years with a scratchy feeling
Aroused from deep insanity to praying
To god that this could hopefully
One day be a feeling of healing

Shit made me cry every single night
And made me wonder to why I was
Living such a weird life to fight
Did I really deserve this?
Did I really deserve this dismiss?
To the mortifying beautiful head
To the burned skin that changed
My skin color to bloody red?
Or to the continues of me being afraid
To touch my skin without getting damaged?

As much as I think I might know
The reasons of my causes
I always tend to seek for
Some sort of advices
It is because of other beautiful minds
That still keeps me alive
To live happy and not worry
About another difficult strive
A strive that is full of energy but
Yet very weak at the same time
A strive that holds nothing but just a rhyme

ABOUT RIPSIME - My name is Ripsime Martikyan. I’m Armenian/Greek but have lived in California ever since I was one years old. Through out my whole life, I’ve been involved in many activities. I’m an athlete, an artist, and a writer. Writing has been a huge part of my life. It has taken me away from many negative situations. It has taught me to be someone that I never thought I was. Through my writing and in general, I’m a very open minded person. I'm not so typical (in fact) i haven’t really shook hands with anyone like me.

I have a very good sense of who I am and what I want out of life. I learn from every experience and try to never regret anything I do. That's what makes me an even stronger person now. I'm such a dreamer, it gets sickening. Even if I'm down, optimism is always my way of getting through things. I’m naturally a very nice person and I love making people laugh.
