Vulnerability claws
against my skin
Slowly scratching off
To reveal
A person that is not me
Stiffly poised
In front of a broad mirror
Longing to find herself

The person in the mirror
Gives me
Restless gleaming smiles
Soft sighs and
Stuck sobs
And i am too weary
To shake her
Off this visage

It's curious,
How she passes off as sane
Her gaze shyly lifts to find
Cloaked desire,
Running rampant
On the street
And then it goes right through her
She faints,
falling into the arms
Of a cold hard ground

From a distance,
Destiny watches her get back up
Coolly,
While she agonizingly moves about,

I feel
Her bitter rage
And the mirthless laugh
That escapes her thin lips
And with that, she left me here
Standing
Alone
Safe
