Behind the Face
Location
A life of pure bliss and cheerfulness
knowing everything was being handed down,
parents with beautiful skin looking ageless,
their name mentioned in the talk of the town
every girl’s desire to stay in the know:
jealous words spewing behind each others backs
scared to be the one to fight the blow,
it seems as though that one could never relax
sometimes forgetting to dismiss the outside,
ideas of perfection cloud their minds:
what lies inside will never be denied,
and yet they still put on a face that blinds;
unknowingly aware of a proven fact,
never taking the time to retract.
