Powdered face
Sweaty palms
Unsteady
                 Rise and fall
                                       Of her chest

Heavy heart
Distorted perceptions
A mirror
                  A mind
                                 A murderer

                                                                                    “Fix me”

Stained eyelids
Cheap extensions
Broken promises
                              Caked on
                                                Beauty in a bottle


Face paint smothering
Any trace of life
An angel
                   Befriended by
                                             Society’s monster
