Beauty Queen


All hail the Beauty Queen

Miss Aphrodite herself

With honey suckle hair and red rose lips

Just pose for one more pic

Watch the followers, watch the views

Watch the calories you must refuse

Laugh and wave; look pretty for the post

No one knows your china plate heart is cracked the most

No one knows those 2AM thoughts- the dragon of pain that can’t stay still

Puffy cheeks and bruised eyes don’t matter when you know how to hide

Rose thorn scratches on both her thighs

Honeysuckle tears from red rose eyes

Baby girl of sea foam- why can’t you smile anymore?
