Her ways of Hiding

By Dethuntillite


To many bracelets for an unfashionable beauty
Colorful accessories beaded and glittered
Make-up covering an unconcealable offense
Thin marks of a vertical persuasion

Purple scarves worn by a lover of red
Woolen fabric knitted and sewed
Distractions hiding regrettable mistakes
Burned scars from a southern stop

Soft shoes additioned with scrubs of blue
Garments prepared for the deemed and uncleaned
Prices paid for frustrating mishaps
Defects avoided with prescriptional relief

So many tears streaming down a face of smirks
Emotional exuberance practiced and preached
Uncontrollable hate for predetermined destiny
Accepted flaws before a pending attempt
