black swans

by fairyechie

they're spotless, no room for human flaws here. with faultless sense of selves and fragile attributes are silver stars, whose homes are cold glittered spotlights pressured, battered and bruised. look away dear, they're "fine" they're fine, scared and composed until the next plot twist rarely, ever so rarely - a perfect one slips a miscalculation on a regular day phenomena, wasn't supposed to be that way perfectionism drove them faultlessly insane when the known consistent road, shatters to eggshells "ever so rarely", they reason to the mirrors with guilt mixing in the blood of walking in fear inner madness unleashing, black swans reappearing the wrongs, how cruel that it doesn't let them go on "this is only once in a blue moon", they echo deep breathes, clutching close, the past's panic they can't let go
