Who is this lady in

Fri, 11/14/2014 - 14:59 -- JHaro

Who is this lady in the mirror?

Nerly flawless, intelligent, attentive

Cordial, joyous, expected

She whimpers

 

A light shines bright

But who would ever notice

That the shadows of her face

Show nothing  but plastic?

 

Plasticity.

Irony.

Productivity.

Desirability.

 

In truth,

All she ever wanted

All she ever was

Genderless

 

A show of imperfection,

Androgyny, and deceit?

"Who?" asked the world

"What?" asked the fiend

 

Nothing but a bastard

Attention-seeker

(Maybe sinner?)

In disguise...

 

How cold

How cruel

How colorful

The masses seek

 

Simple.

Predictable.

Simplicity.

The masses seek.
