“Fallen Facade”
By Ashley O’Hare
That shimmer in your eyeshadow
will never compare
to your unique soul.
Long eyelashes
may look elegant,
but they will never beat
your soft eyes-
finding beauty through cracks and dents.
You cannot manufacture
your natural beauty.
You cannot hide
your wild spirit.
You cannot package
yourself into a bottle.
You will never
hide your pain
behind a straight white smile.
The facade will fall
and you will be waiting
underneath it all.
