Screaming, crying,
still denying
breaking, shaking,
don’t know she’s faking
scratches and scars,
surrond her like bars
mend, pretend,
this torture won’t end
slowly dying,
the feeling of flying
silence holding, resolve folding
into anothers image, her body is molding
falling, calling,
the damadge is appalling
revision, decision,
there is no suspicion
writing, lighting
no use in fighting
defeat, she’s beat
her devil soon to meet
no one knows, facing foes
because she always is composed.
concealer, not to reveal her
just can’t look in the mirror.
