Unfinished...


There was a lip formed by the Creator

Formed by the Creator by words

Formed to talk and formed to express

There was a girl created by the Creator

Created t love and to be loved in return

 

Yet she who loved was afraid

Afraid to expose her vulnerability

Thinking that vulnerability would break her

She hid her sadness away from the world

And silenced her voice

She painted shimmer and color to her eyes

Added some to the scars on her arms

A little to her dark lies

And finally painted on a smile.
