Other Side Poem by Unintelligible Susurration

Other Side



There comes a time
When a child
Crosses to
The other side

Their hair evidently
Proceeds to turn
Indigo blue -
A sure sign of
The insolence

Their splediferous life
Turns black and grey
All around
With, perhaps,
Specks of red

Everywhere they go
Stridulent voices follow
Urging them to
Do the unimaginable

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I remember writing this poem when I thought I had nothing to write about. In mind, I had a girl in my class who is 'emo/scene/goth' (according to her) . I remember how last year she was just like everyone else, or at least I thought so since I only had one class with her. This year, I have her for most of my classes and I've seen that she has 'crossed to the other side'. She dyed her hair black and wears dark colors. She must have been a girl who loved laughing with her friends but now that I know her better I know that is not the case.

...I'm quite confused at this point. I think I may have repeated things over and over, haha. Oh well. What's done is done.

There you have it. The story of 'Other Side'.
Also, there is a song called 'Otherside' by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Thought I'd share this because it has the same title.: P
