dizziness tingled awkwardly,
paralyzing sensitive intellect.

distraction converted
concealing misfortune,
into a fictitious hangover.

a walking mannequin
trespassed,
finding her finishing line
celebrating
solidary celebration.

golden ribbon recognized,
personal sacrifices.

flames of bygones,
melted the wax
of her artificial persona.

stripped and naked
of artificial disguises,

she discovered
remaining lifeless,

was the only gateway,
within her personal orbit.

she held onto artifacts,
that depleted her artistry.

yet she stood
steadity and imperfectly,
in a spell that would forever
consume her sanity.
