10 YEARS OF SILENCE She coats on her mascara thicker than the blackest skies— Reminding her how deep the pain runs through her eyes. But you only perceive what she allows you to— The smiles, the disguise, the lies, A mystery remains in uncanny cries. She chases fabrications with pure intent, Leaving only scarred hearts and bones that are bent. She relinquishes her soul until there’s nothing left to give, Merely a girl whose dreams are for lent. Yet somehow she floats through the hell that is past, Leaving the parts of her demons away to cast. And all the somber souls that tried to submerge her light, Will question her resilience as she wins the fight. THE FAIR PHOTO
