She hides behind her confidence
Behind her designer clothes
her Jimmy Choos and Chloe bag
She puts on her make up with perfection
not too much, not too little
she is flawless
confidence trails behind her being
if you are lucky you may just catch some in your hands
from this golden haired Goddess with the sapphire blue eyes
But strip her bare
until you can see into the
dark parts of her soul
you witness the unhappiness that lurks from her past
her self-esteem had been abandoned
her image was distorted
her mind was broken
she kept its secret this thing that played and perverted her vision
she purged and expelled in secret locations
until it became an art form she could perform in any situation
the body broke along with her mind
one day they came and took her away
they fixed and restored her mind and spirit
she wasn’t left unscathed, it broke her heart, it can’t be fixed
it still beats, sometimes too slow, sometimes too fast
Although perfection nearly killed
confidence still trails behind
my beautiful J
