"Nymph"
by Emily M. I reverted back to nature. Mother Earth itself, My mother. I let the leaves cover my naked body. I put flowers in my hair in replace of pins. I let the water from the stream, wash away each sin that covered my face. I used damp earth as a scrub, and sap from trees to soothe. Emily is a sophomore. She enjoys reading and writing poetry, as well as listening to music.

This is beautiful! Is the "sin" referring to makeup or something more metaphorical?
