She pats and smears and smudges
Lips, eyes – the face held captive in
the compact’s mirror
Beauty to behold
Yet the Beast is only an arm’s length away
Ready to devour and consume
I hold high my regard to disregard
such attempts
Yet on occasion I also fall victim to
fiends of self-doubt and questioning
And check and recheck reflection space
to insure I am presentable
So, accepting a shared reality,
I’ll give the girl her due.
She is beautiful.
I'm so proud of you for bearing your soul for all to see...
ReplyDeleteI kept hearing people say "a blog is supposed to be this and supposed to be that" before I left, and I realized I disagree. it's supposed to be whetever you want it to be. So I hope you can make it just that, as I know the decision to do this was not one you took all that lightly...
I'm glad to see your art...it's impressive, but not surprising. It's/You're beautiful.
