&ldquo;You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.&rdquo; <br /> ― Mae West


It falls clean
It falls fast then slow
As it falls,
She looks up in to a mirror,
Brushes them away,
And reapplies her makeup
A fake smile is attached.
All so no one knows
What she really feels

&quot;As for me, I am a watercolor. I wash off.&quot; (via Anne Sexton,&quot;For My Lover, Returning To His Wife&quot;)<br /> <br /> &quot;I think I made you up inside my head.&#039;&#039; (via Sylvia Plath, &quot;Mad Girl&#039;s Love Song&quot;)<br /> <br /> &quot;You called it cosmic; I thought it was icy.&quot; (via Ada Coen)

it was short, but packed with a good concept. i did enjoy it, though the only thing i would say is to not captialize the first word in each stanza. when that happens it takes away from the overall flow and continuity of the poem. if you only capitalize as you would in a regular sentence, it makes the shortness emphasized as you only see an X amount of sentences. other than that, i don't have much else to comment on~
