All the pressures of
perfection,
obstacles in all
directions,
can wear down a practiced
smile,
like chocking on acidic
bile
Cracked face on a porcelain
doll,
treat it like a surface
flaw
All the makeup and the facades
help to quell the stormy
squalls
So, she stays in the direction
of trying to perfect perfection
Sometimes people get caught up in physical beauty & never get to know the person underneath.
