covering up the lies
she streaks the makeup across her face-
fills the mold of society
with a plastered smile none can trace.
hiding beneath the shell
of a perfect, happy exterior
the hold is growing larger
losing her reflection in the mirror.
scarring her body,
with the sharp new blade
each mark tells a different story,
none of which will fade.
smiling to the world
hiding her doubts within
holding others burdens
pain seeps into her skin.
wasting away
falling further with each passing day.
sinking lower into despair
wandering aimlessly, but no one's there. |
