Beauty in the eyes of the Blind

Her eyes bloodshot

Her smile frozen into place

Anger burns through her soul

A fist through the mirror

Another heave

Another scream

Another broken piece

The puzzle doesn't fit together anymore

Lies they're telling her

Pain she felt

When she realized it wasn't true

Lies rushing through her like a current

She realizes now

That beauty is not within her

That those who have told her she is beautiful

Have lied

The eyes of the blind leading the numb

Giving hope to the hopeful

Feeding the hearts of the naive

Giving lies to those who will believe them.
