Behind a curtain I see flaws.
An awful body stretched wth cause.
A mass of humiliation waiting to be judged.
A quieted voice from lack of self esteem.
A forced image that in the mirro my brain percieves.
Honey
it takes miles to smile with a mouth like yours
if you let it run it’ll never stop
salivating all the tears you’ve let cultivate
at the shriveled root of your unused tongue if you ever had one
