Not So Pretty
written by Lothiriel01:35 AM 12/20/04I don't think I'm so pretty anymore
Emotions run ramped
As if in a motionless time standing still amid my veins
Sleeping softly as they wind through the marrow of an internal doom
A sorrow not of my kind slumbers, though on the outside I smile
As if smiling through the pain of a hatred unbeknownst to me
I do not wish to hate, for that is one of many emotions
I seem to not feel
Or is it that I wish not to feel
If I let this safeguard down for a moment,
would it help me to heal?
Or is it that I wish not to heal
A beauty on the outside means nothing
if all that is living inside remains smothered
Held back for the infernal twist
A finality that one does not speak of,
only whispers of in shadow
Pointing, attempting secrecy
I do not believe that I am transparent,
nor that the flames of iced embers
enveloping my soul are for all to look upon and judge
For I see myself within,
in one act I can judge and contain the outline of me
And I don’t feel so pretty anymore
I do not like what I see |
